I've shared these ideas across 100+ episodes, but I wanted them all in one place. These are the concepts that make Connect Method Parenting different, the foundation of everything we do inside League and what I teach on this podcast.
I'm going through them fairly quickly in this episode, so if you want to go deeper on any of these, search the podcast or come ask me inside League during office hours.
In this episode:
- Connection is your most powerful tool (and your child's most essential need)
- Why life is designed to be 50% amazing and 50% terrible, and why accepting this changes everything
- It only takes one person to improve a relationship, and that person is you
- Your brain will ruin your life if you don't supervise it (primitive brain vs. higher brain)
- Emotional maturity is spontaneous but not inevitable, here's how to create the conditions for it
- What you want matters more than other people's expectations of you
- How you think about yourself literally creates the quality of your life
- Everyone is doing the best they can in the moment (yes, even when they ate the brownies)
- Nature knows what it's doing, trust the timing
- Your emotions come from your thoughts (not from your kids' behavior)
A few things I mention:
- The baby powder blizzard of 2007 (my origin story)
- Hiking Machu Picchu with my daughter having a meltdown
- Dr. Gordon Neufeld's work on attachment and emotional maturation
- The Daily Peace process we do inside League
- The "More emotion, less feeling" concept
