About this listen

Are your kids drifting more toward their peers than toward you? In this episode, we dive into how to build lasting emotional connection with your children by prioritizing parental attachment over peer orientation—a concept championed by experts like Dr. Gordon Neufeld and Dr. Gabor Maté.

We share real-life stories from our homeschool journey, raising stepchildren, and overcoming attachment challenges that so many modern families face. Learn how peer pressure quietly steals influence from parents—and what you can do to reclaim your role as the secure base your child needs.

🔎 In this episode:

  • How peer orientation affects child development

  • Signs your child may be disconnecting emotionally

  • How to foster deeper connection through everyday moments

  • Real-life examples of healing family bonds through intentional parenting

Whether you're homeschooling, navigating blended family dynamics, or simply trying to reconnect, this episode offers hope, practical tools, and encouragement. You are doing better than you think. ❤️

👉 Don’t miss this powerful conversation on parenting with purpose, attachment, and faith-led connection.
