A real gem! So glad I found this book!
Not just for parents… useful tips for Great Aunts, Grandmothers, spouses… even dog-moms! Not everything applies to all relationships, but in this digital age where we’re all so busy - this book is a great wake-up call to work on our connections to our loved ones, regardless of whether that is a parent-child relationship. It’s just there’s so much more stuff going on when you’re the “parent.”
Okay, so I’m a chronic note-taker… the problem is, I was highlighting so much in this book… there’s very little fluff. Here are a couple quotes that resonated with me:
“Kids don’t need things. Kids need parents who spend time with them.”
“Now, let’s discuss what fills a child’s love cup. The three main ingredients are unconditional love, play, and quality time.”
I think the biggest take-away for me was to make quality time each day to really connect, and that doesn’t necessarily mean a ton of time, but to take the time to be really present and listen. Face them, unplug, give them your full attention. Body language is important - gentle hugs and snuggles can speak louder than words. Play is such a wonderful gift, because it’s a way to just connect and have fun - even learn - without judging, lecturing, criticizing - just be in the moment and relate as equals.
If you have a good connection, you can work the rest of it out.

Lots of good tips
I didn’t agree with everything the author had to say, but you don’t have to agree with somebody all the time to pick up some pointers.
Some pointers of my own are: you can’t raise a child, without occasionally damaging them. Or vice versa. Physical punishment is not abuse. Some kids can do without it; some kids really don’t take you seriously (or even hear you) unless they are touched in a firm way that might be somewhat painful. The same child often needs a lot of physical love in other respects. Kids with attachment disorder are not your fault.
I have raised two, and we eventually managed to find our way. But, in any case, the unattached child does not respond to love or discipline in the same way as the attached child.
In fact, each and every child is a little bit different and requires a different approach. And just to make things fun, sometimes they view that as you being unfair. What’s truly unfair, is treating them all exactly alike, and using the very same parenting techniques with all kids. Last of all, as long as they know you love them, most kids will be just fine in the long run. Some few will decide to go off and be completely contrary, and do everything to make you crazy. You can survive that too, and the funniest thing is when they come back when they have children of their own and say “now I get it”.

3.5 ⭐️
I have read other parenting books with all of this information already, so none of this was new to me. However, for someone who hasn’t read a lot of parenting books, this is a good starting point. This book gives a good overview of how to use attachment and gentle parenting to connect with your kids to provide a good foundation for parenting and discipline.
I recommend this to a parent who is struggling with their kids behavior and not sure how to move forward, and who hasn’t read a lot of other parenting books on attachment parenting.

So Helpful!!
I first have to talk about the title: Connection B4 Correction. That title on itself is so profound—at least to me. I immediately had to pick this up, knowing I wanted to cultivate the strong bonds I have with my children. And this book did not disappoint!

Wonderful book about a parenting style I truly believe in!
Great book when you believe in the power of this kind of parenting. Going to have my significant other read it too so he can understand the way I am wanting to parent my son and why.

great read
I felt this book was really informative and helpful. I will re-read again to continue to help re-focus my thoughts on my children. The scenarios on the child POV and the “how would you feel..” is really helpful.

Very enlightening
Accepting who your child is is a very powerful concept. This is because before you can change, you have to accept who you are first. The same concept applies to parenting children. Good read.

Know Your Triggers!
This book is very helpful if only to say you are not alone. But it is much more than that. It really gives you the tools to breathe and take a step back.
