In this Q&A mini-episode, our host Stacy is joined by Connected Families Parent Coaches & Workshop Speakers, Alan and Corrie Thetford, to answer real questions from parents just like you. With four kids of their own, the Thetfords bring both professional expertise and lived experience to two common parenting challenges: managing multiple young children and addressing persistent behaviors.

Key Takeaways:

• The Framework works in the chaos, not only after it
• Focus on one thing at a time
• Consequences are about repair, not punishment
