Episode notes
Three-Minute Connection Practice
- Try spending three focused minutes with a child at three daily pinch points: just after waking, after childcare/school, and before bed.
- Use these brief anchors to increase a child's sense of security and connection without needing large time investments.
Hold The Idea Loosely
- Hold the three-minute idea loosely as an intention rather than a rigid rule to avoid added stress.
- Add it to your parenting toolbox and use it when it naturally occurs, rather than forcing perfection.
Bedtime Record-Reading Game
- Anna explains a bedtime routine where she reads, plays a quick record-finding game, and spends a few private minutes with each child.
- Those short rituals provide presence and calm at the end of the day.
