We all want strong, connected relationships with our kids—but sometimes, without realizing it, we fall into patterns that do the opposite.

In this episode of The Organized-ish Parent Podcast, Dianne shares how a simple dinner out with friends revealed just how easy it is to drift into accidental parenting—those small, well-meaning habits that create bigger problems down the road.

She breaks down:

• What accidental parenting looks like (and how it starts)

• How to model healthy connection in a digital world

• The power of playing the long game in parenting

• Questions that get your kids talking again

If you’ve ever caught yourself wondering why your kids seem distant or glued to their screens, this episode will help you reconnect intentionally—without guilt, pressure, or perfectionism.

Enjoy the episode!
