A unique parenting framework
Build your child’s identity
Reflect on the messages your parenting is sending. Unfortunately, sometimes instead of sending a message of, “You are called and capable,” our kids get the message, “You are irresponsible and a problem.” We want to help you change that message.
Christ-centered
Research-based
Trauma-informed
No politics
Connected Families seeks to fulfill a unique role in the Christian parenting space. While unapologetically Christ-centered, we also let parenting, brain, and trauma research inform what we do and say. And we keep our focus on Jesus. Not politics.

Here are what real parents are saying
Parent Coaching gave us hope during a difficult season. We gained new skills and perspective as we worked through our specific scenarios with Chad. Coaching also brought us together as a team and helped us change the tone of our home.
