"We don't stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing."

Hey there! Parenting often feels like a serious business with all the discipline, rules, and responsibilities. But does it really have to be that way? Do we really need to rely on those serious tools? What if I told you that play—yes, good old-fashioned fun—can be more effective than many traditional parenting methods?

Play is one of the most effective and underutilized parenting tools we have!

It can shift a child from frustration to connection, keeping their defenses low and strengthening your bond.

More play means more cooperation, connection, and calm! The coveted C's every parent wants. Ready to bring more laughter and joy into your parenting? Let’s dive in!

Parenting can often feel like balancing between maintaining authority and nurturing a loving relationship.

Today, we're diving into Chapter 12 of the Connect Method Parenting book, focusing on "setting limits" with compassion and empathy. I kick things off with a powerful reminder: "It's not what you say, but who you are in that moment that matters." This sets the stage for a deep discussion on how parents can enforce rules and boundaries without compromising their connection with their children.

In this episode, you'll discover practical strategies for maintaining a harmonious family dynamic while being firm and clear about expectations. I share ideas on being present and intentional in those critical moments of setting limits, ensuring that your authority as a parent is respected without eroding the bond you share with your kids.

I remember my toddlers trying to put on their shoes backward over and over again. They wanted me to watch but NOT help them. Today I started thinking about those crazy years when I had six kids eight and under, and a thought popped into my mind, "Your kids are figuring out the world one backward shoe at a time, and they need you to be there, really be there, through it all."

Today, we’re diving into Chapter 11 of the Connect Method Parenting book, “The Art of Seeing.” In this episode, we get into the heart of why our children need to feel truly seen and heard to grow into their best selves. I’m Andee Martineau, the mastermind behind Connect Method Parenting, and today we’re dropping some serious wisdom on establishing that all-important connection with your child.

We’re talking about how these connections are the glue that holds everything together. And when they break? Oh boy, do things get messy. But don’t worry, I’ve got the playbook on how to repair those bonds and keep them strong. Think of it as your parenting first aid kit – practical steps and all.
