Ep #190 Compassionate Alpha Parenting: Sturdy and Kind

Connect Method Parenting I Conscious Parenting,... ·

2025/10/02

What does it mean to be a compassionate alpha as a parent? It’s not about being harsh or domineering, and it’s not about being passive or permissive either. It’s about finding that steady, sturdy ground between strength and warmth. In this episode, I unpack the term Compassionate Alpha (learned from Dr. Gordon Neufeld) and share why kids need a parent who can lead with both firmness and kindness. You’ll hear why being “too soft” spikes a child’s anxiety, why being “too hard” erodes trust, and...

2025/09/28

Most parenting advice skips straight to tactics: new charts, new scripts, new strategies. And for a while, they might work. But if you’ve ever thought, “Why did I yell again? Why did I get so frustrated even though I promised I wouldn’t?”—you’ve bumped into the truth: behavior is downstream of being. In this episode of the Connect Method Parenting Podcast, I’ll show you why strategies only work as well as the state you bring to them. Change doesn’t last because you tried harder—it lasts becau...

Connect Method Parenting I Conscious Parenting,... ·

2025/09/24

Most of us don’t realize it, but we slip into getting attention from our kids — measuring our worth by their cooperation, moods, or so-called “good behavior.” When they listen, help out, or show up happy, we feel validated. When they resist, melt down, or push back, we question ourselves. In this episode, Andee unpacks the crucial difference between getting attention and giving it — the kind of steady, present, high-quality connection that doesn’t depend on how kids are acting. You’ll hear wh...

Today’s vibe: totally different—and kind of wild. I pressed a little “Create audio summary” button inside NotebookLM (after loading my CMP book + Pivot material), and it generated a 20-minute conversation distilling Connect Method Parenting using only my sources.

Today I'm sharing a live workshops where we dive deep into the very first step of Seen and Heard, the "See" part. And not just seeing the behavior or the chaos or the mess (because let's be honest, our brains love to laser focus on the problem), but actually SEEING our kids. The humans behind the big emotions. What You'll Learn: The Stop, Drop & Roll Technique - Yes, just like fire safety, but for parenting fires! When your kid's brain goes haywire and your nervous system star...

Limits That Feel Like Love — Discipline Without the Drama Discipline doesn’t have to be about power struggles, lectures, or bribes. In fact, when it’s done right, it actually feels like love. In this episode, I’m breaking down why setting firm limits is one of the most loving things we can do for our kids—and how to do it without all the drama. We’ll talk about: Why “no” can be a gift (yep, even when your kid is melting down)The difference between control and connectionHow to hold firm withou...

It's 8:30 AM, a jackhammer is going FULL THROTTLE outside my window for the third hour straight, and I'm over here typing about unconditional love. But that obnoxious jackhammer just gave my entire family the perfect real-time lesson in how our thoughts create our reality. One daughter felt annoyed, my husband felt compassion (because he knows someone who got nerve damage from jackhammer work), and others were pretty neutral about the whole thing. Same situation.

What if I told you that acceptance - the thing you think means "giving up" - actually requires MORE effort than fighting? And what if this one shift could stop your parenting triggers in their tracks? Hey parents! I'm giving myself high fives over here because this episode is going to blow your mind about what acceptance actually means in connected parenting.

I’m standing in my kitchen, staring at the mess, kids bickering in the background, and my brain is screaming, “We’re going down!” You know those moments when you’re about to lose it, when correction mode feels inevitable, and you just want to eject out of the whole parenting gig for five minutes? Yeah, I’ve been there. More times than I can count. And here’s the wild thing: those are the exact moments when I’ve learned to practice something that used to feel impossible for me, fee...

Snacks are prepped, your nervous system is regulated, and you're ready to welcome your kids home with the kind of calm connection that makes parenting books weep with joy. Then reality shows up. Your 5-year-old melts down about the "wrong" crackers, your teenager rolls their eyes so hard they practically fall out, and suddenly you're yelling about homework like you're auditioning for a reality show you never wanted to...

I'm three days away from a family vacation, and my house looks like it got into a fight with a tornado... and lost. There are Amazon boxes everywhere (because apparently we ALL forgot "essential" items), laundry covering every surface, and yesterday? Our dog got skunked. Because OF COURSE. But here's the kicker, my kids are walking around like it's totally normal. My youngest's friend came over, I apologized for the mess, and she goes, "Oh, this reminds me of my bedroom!"

Ever find yourself lying in bed at night, replaying every parenting moment that went sideways that day? Yeah, me too. For years, I would literally drown in a sea of regret, beating myself up for every time I lost my cool, lectured instead of listened, or just plain missed the mark with my kids. But here's what I've learned: regret can either be your biggest parenting enemy or your secret weapon. The difference? How you use it. What We're Diving Into Today 🌟 The two faces of...

This episode is all about a pretty darn useful parenting tool I ever made, a 3x5 index card I kept in my back pocket. Not figuratively. Literally. It had my plan on it. My plan for when things went sideways. For when I was about to yell. For when I wanted to give up or threaten or bribe or storm off. I call it the Get Ready for Anything Plan.

The mom in Target who judged me for my kids' meltdowns did me a favor. She showed me how toxic judgment was destroying my parenting. A few years later when a wise human shared this thought with me, I knew it was a keeper, "No one is worthy of my judgment, and everyone is worthy of my love." In this episode, I'm diving deep into Chapter 3 of my book, "Nothing Has Gone Wrong Here," and sharing the judgment detox that saved my sanity (and my relationship with my kids).

I used to have a black belt in consequence-giving. 🥋 My kids wouldn't clean their room? BOOM - grounded. Talking back? KAPOW - no screens for a week. Fighting with siblings? BAM - straight to timeout. I was "winning" every single battle. My kids were complying (sort of). The house was (temporarily) peaceful. So why did I feel like I was losing something way bigger?
