  • How to Rebuild a Broken Connection With Your Child

    How to Rebuild a Broken Connection With Your Child
    2026/01/14

    Are you struggling to connect with your child—even though you love them deeply and are trying your best?


    Have you ever wondered why behavior issues, emotional distance, or constant conflict keep showing up in your family—no matter how hard you work at parenting?


    In this powerful episode, we break down a truth that changes everything: good parenting ultimately comes down to strong attachment and connection with your children.


    Whether you’re parenting toddlers, teens, or somewhere in between, every behavior—tantrums, rebellion, withdrawal, anxiety, defiance—points back to attachment. And the good news? Attachment can always be rebuilt.


    We dive deep into why early attachment matters, how patterns formed in infancy can carry into the teen years and adulthood, and—most importantly—what you can do now to repair broken bonds, rebuild trust, and create lasting connection with your child.


    This episode is both hope-filled and practical, showing parents exactly how small, intentional changes—like presence, co-regulation, physical affection, and emotional attunement—can completely transform family dynamics.


    If you’ve ever felt discouraged, blamed yourself, or wondered if it’s “too late,” this conversation will give you clarity, direction, and confidence moving forward.


    Family work is the most important work—and success is in the details.

  • How to Parent Without Yelling (And Why Tantrums Stop)

    How to Parent Without Yelling (And Why Tantrums Stop)
    2026/01/07
    Are you tired of yelling—and still dealing with tantrums, defiance, and emotional meltdowns?What if the reason tantrums keep happening isn’t because your child is “misbehaving,” but because something deeper isn’t being addressed?In this episode, Greg & Rachel Denning break down the exact framework they’ve used to practice parenting without yelling—and to prevent tantrums before they start. As parents of seven, they share the six core principles that transformed their family culture from reactive and exhausting to calm, connected, and emotionally resilient.You’ll learn why tantrums are a symptom, not the problem, and how prioritizing connection over correction eliminates the need for constant discipline. This conversation challenges the myth that punishment creates better behavior and shows how teaching, clarity, emotional co-regulation, and healthy challenge create lasting change.They also explain why many kids simply lack the neurological ability to self-regulate, and how co-regulation—not isolation or punishment—is the missing piece for most families struggling with meltdowns.If you’re ready to stop firefighting behavior and start building a family culture that actually works, this episode will change how you see parenting.Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/V1Vrh3u6FpI Key Takeaways:✅ Connection reduces the need for correction — discipline works best when the relationship is protected first.✅ Tantrums are symptoms, not the problem — go upstream to unmet needs instead of reacting to behavior.✅ Parent with clarity, not threats or bribes — vague rules create rebellion; clear teaching creates ownership.✅ Emotional co-regulation is essential — children can’t self-regulate until they’re taught how through you.✅ Family systems reduce chaos — routines and expectations remove friction and power struggles.✅ Resilience is built through connection and challenge — kids grow strongest when they choose hard things with your support.Memorable Quotes🗣 “Connection reduces the need for correction.”🗣 “Tantrums are a symptom of a problem—not the problem itself.”🗣 “If you’re not getting the results you want, you need to question your parenting methods.”🗣 “The most effective way to discipline a child is to teach them—not punish them.”🗣 “We never correct our children at the expense of connection.”🗣 “Children don’t need isolation when they’re overwhelmed—they need co-regulation.”🗣 “Parenting is your most important role. Everything else is secondary.”Chapters:00:00 Raising Well-Adjusted Kids on the Move00:42 Understanding Tantrums and Yelling01:01 Prioritizing Connection Over Correction04:13 The Importance of Connection Over Correction05:20 Understanding the Desire for Connection06:01 The Impact of Parental Engagement06:10 Recognizing Attachment Issues06:28 Daily Intentional Connection06:47 Behavior as a Symptom, Not the Problem07:21 Going to the Root Cause of Behavior09:25 The Investment in Parenting Knowledge10:39 Clarifying Expectations in Parenting11:34 Engaging in Clear Communication13:33 Encouraging Dialogue for Clarity18:05 Natural Consequences and Child Empowerment19:58 Establishing Family Systems for Smooth Parenting22:14 Emotional Co-Regulation in Parenting27:51 Building Resilience Through Connection and ChallengeRESOURCES:Let us help you in your extraordinary family life journey.How We Raised 7 Well-Adjusted Kids - Without Yelling, Tantrums, Punishments or Power Struggles (+ get THE CHECKLIST: Things We Do Every Day to Raise Well-Adjusted Kids)Rachel’s ⁠⁠Must-Read Booklist for Well-Read Moms⁠⁠Greg's ⁠⁠Recommended Reading List for Parents & Youth⁠⁠Join the 12-Week Habits Challenge for parents of kids 13+Don’t miss out on the Extraordinary Parent Mentoring Method class!Get Greg’s NEW Formidable Family Man BOOK!Get Rachel's ⁠⁠Family Systems & Charts⁠⁠Get Rachel’s Extraordinary Family Life PlannerFollow us on Instagram: ⁠@worldschoolfamily⁠ or ⁠@greg.denning⁠
