Connection Before Correction is a 16-page translation guide for grandparents who
hear words like co-regulation and body autonomy and quietly think "what does that
even mean?"
It decodes the 14 terms you'll actually hear , each one with a plain definition, what it
looked like when you were raising kids, what it looks like now, and why it matters —
so you can join the conversation instead of nodding along.
This is not a dictionary you have to memorize.
It is a phrasebook for your own family — including how to ask what a term means
without sounding like you're testing them.
