The person behind the project

Meet Norma Bermúdez

I am an educator, author, and founder of Crianza que Abraza. My more than three decades in education across Cuba, Mexico, and the United States inspire my commitment to families and communities.

My work brings together early childhood education, self-esteem, mindful parenting, inclusion, and respect for cultural diversity. I have also completed birth-support training to deepen my understanding of pregnancy, breastfeeding, and early family bonds, without offering clinical doula services.

I believe in education that listens, supports, and honors the dignity of every child and family.

Formación complementaria: facilitadora certificada en autoestima familiar (2025), formación como doula de nacimiento (2026) y reconocimientos por mi trayectoria educativa y participación en conferencias.

Additional training: certified family self-esteem facilitator (2025), birth doula training (2026), and recognition for my educational work and conference presentations.

UNA HISTORIA QUE ME TRANSFORMÓ

A STORY THAT CHANGED ME

México: donde nació mi historia como madre

Mexico: Where my journey as a mother began

En México, lejos de mis raíces, descubrí que incluso siendo educadora necesitaba orientación, recursos y herramientas para acompañar a mi hija. Aquella experiencia dio sentido a mi primer libro y a mi compromiso de apoyar a otras familias.

In Mexico, far from my roots, I discovered that even as an educator I needed guidance, resources, and tools to support my daughter. That experience inspired my first book and my commitment to other families.

«Escribí el libro que me hubiera gustado tener entre mis manos cuando me convertí en madre».

“I wrote the book I wish I had held in my hands when I became a mother.”

My first book · Norma Bermúdez

Crianza Consciente: Potenciando la Autoestima en la Primera Infancia

An invitation to raise children with love, respect, and emotional connection.

The early years are essential to developing identity, emotional security, and self-esteem. Every word, gesture, and shared experience can shape how children learn to value themselves.

Written for parents, caregivers, and educators, this book invites readers to support childhood with awareness, respect, and compassion.

Drawing on more than three decades of educational experience, Norma Bermúdez explores emotional bonds, empathetic communication, feelings, and respect for every child's individuality.

A dream come true

The launch of my first book was much more than a literary celebration: it was a gathering filled with emotion, gratitude, and people who have been part of my journey.

I was delighted to share it with my mother, husband, nieces and nephews, sister-in-law, friends, and fellow participants in the certification program Self-Esteem: A Conversation for the Whole Family.

Special thanks to my mentors Estela Carrera-Infante y Teresa Barradas, for supporting me throughout this journey of learning and growth.

Through book signings, hugs, and smiles, we celebrated our commitment to a childhood in which every child feels loved, heard, and valued.
