In this episode of Connected Parenting Minute, Will and CarrieAnn Standfest return for the much-anticipated part two of their brain science series. They continue to unravel the mysteries of the brain, focusing on the powerful concept of 'flipping one's lid.' With their signature blend of warmth and wisdom, the Standfests explain how the brain's processing systems—from the survival-oriented brainstem to the emotional limbic system and the logical cortex—can sometimes go offline during moments of stress, leading children (and adults) to react in survival mode, unable to access reasoning or language. They introduce the hand model of the brain, a simple yet profound tool to visualize these brain systems and their responses.


Will and CarrieAnn also provide practical, real-world strategies for parents to catch early signs of distress in their children, engage their thinking brains, and help them (and themselves) regulate before a full-blown lid flip occurs. They emphasize the importance of practicing these techniques outside the moment of crisis, ensuring that both parents and children are equipped to handle stress with grace and understanding. Whether it's using proprioceptive inputs like deep breathing and oral stimuli or modeling self-regulation by taking a step back during heated moments, this episode is filled with actionable advice.


Tune in to learn how to foster a sense of safety and resilience in your family, and remember, it's not about being perfect—it's about getting better one connected parenting minute at a time.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
