Welcome back to Andee Reads Between the Lines—the series where I read my book Connect Method Parenting out loud and pause to riff, reflect, and spill the real-time truths you won’t find on the printed page.

In this episode, we're kicking off Part One of the book—and we’re not easing in. We're diving headfirst into the deep end of tradition, behavioralism, and the parenting frameworks we think are helping us... but actually aren't.

Here's what's inside:

• 🎯 Why traditional parenting is more about control than connection—and why it’s time to question it
• 🧠 What behavioralism is (spoiler: it's everywhere), and why it’s keeping us stuck
• 🌊 The small boat/ocean metaphor you didn’t know your nervous system needed
• ✨ Four reflection questions that’ll change how you see your child—and yourself
• ❤️ Why your kids need unconditional love most when they mess up the worst

This episode is part pep talk, part paradigm shift, and full-on permission slip to let go of the parenting “rules” that never actually worked for your family in the first place.

This isn’t just a read-aloud. It’s a rebellion in real time. 💥
