As kids grow, staying connected can feel harder. The once-chatty little one now gives one-word answers, prefers friends over family time, and maybe even pushes you away. But here’s the truth—your child wants connection just as much as you do. It just looks different as they get older.

In this episode, we’ll dive into why connection is the foundation of a strong lifelong bond and how fear, control, and power struggles can get in the way. You’ll learn how to shift from reactive parenting to presence and curiosity, practical ways to strengthen your relationship at any age, and the science behind why connection fosters trust, resilience, and cooperation.

If you’re feeling disconnected or frustrated with your child’s behavior, this episode will give you the tools to rebuild closeness—without forcing it.
