NYCity Mama, aka Carol Cain, blogs about her family-travels adventures as a New York City mom with three kids. In her recent post, “Adventures in Parenting: From Chaos to Connection,” Carol shares some of her personal story about her own parents, struggles with parenting, and the impact Chaos to Connection had on her.

Carol writes, “I became very emotional when reading the [Chaos to Connection] because I saw a lot of myself in the examples they had given. Like me seeing my son as ‘lazy’ and no more in certain instances. The material I read encouraged me to instead look deeper, and when I did I saw that in may ways it was more about him ‘lacking motivation’ and ‘needing my support.’  The realization of that, and that’s just one example, made me sad. Very sad. Because that’s my dad’s treatment of me.”

And then she shares about a trip she took with her 12-year-old son, the three day trip into connecting with him, and then how she continues to use Chaos to Connection when they return home. It’s a powerful story and message of how Chaos to Connection helps parents heal and bring joy to their family!
