This week, I'm speaking to M.Ed Certified Parenting Coach, Michelle Kenney. Michelle is a mother of two girls and a former high school teacher and counselor who transitioned into a certified parenting instructor. After years of parenting using consequences, bribes, and gold stars, she completely reshaped the sacred relationship she shares with her daughters, and she credits connected parenting for it.

Hear Michelle's insights on connected parenting and why difficult behaviors naturally fall into place when you focus on your relationship rather than on punishments and rewards. Learn why rewards don't exemplify unconditional love, how connection increases cooperation, and her top tips for harnessing connection whenever your children are having a hard time, whether they're in adolescence or toddlerhood.
