What if you could prevent power struggles before they even begin?

In this episode of The Family Architect: Parenting by Design Rather Than by Default, we explore the art of Pre-Connection — a soulful, science-backed parenting practice that helps children move through transitions with more ease and less resistance.

Pre-Connection isn’t a script or a trick. It’s what happens when you meet your child’s emotional needs before they have to act out. And it doesn’t take hours — just moments of intentional presence.

If mornings feel frantic, bedtime brings tears, or transitions always end in stress, this episode is your invitation to pause, connect, and lead with calm.
