Connected Families Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I have followed Connected Families blog and podcast for several years now. I am homeschooling two active, spirited, sensitive and possibly neurodivergent kids, one of whom is entering the tween years. I have no doubt that if I had not found the wisdom and balanced teaching shared by this ministry, I would have resigned myself to repeating the fear and force based “discipline” of my own generation. I honestly feel that we would have abandoned homeschooling and deeply damaged our relationship without these insights, perspective shifts, and tools. We still have challenges, of course, but we also have evidence of a bond that would not have been possible if I’d continued with the default approach I started with in my parenting journey. I highly recommend this podcast (and other wonderful resources from CF)— it has brought me tremendous encouragement over and over again!!

I love all of Connected Families resources because they are all both inspiring to me to love my kids well and teach them diligently AND practical about how to actually go about that…that is special to have both! Parents, listen in for head, heart, and hands help for raising your kiddos!

So grateful to God for leading my to this resource. They answer so many questions I have as a parent from a sound biblical perspective. But the thing that sets Connected Families apart is that they take neuroscience into account and this is so key for me. We need to parent in a way that recognizes we are dealing with underdeveloped frontal lobes and underdeveloped means of nervous system regulation. Thankful to this group for their work.

Where would my family be without Connected Families? We needed these truths. We need these truths. We need this grace and encouragement as parents. Connected Families gives us Biblical parenting models that also include how the brain and body works. We learn to shepherd our children’s hearts AND bodies and brains.
