When family life feels hard, it’s rarely because we’re doing too little — it’s usually because we’re disconnected.
At The Thriving Home, we teach a research-backed approach called Connection-First Parenting, rooted in attachment theory, neuroscience, and child development. Our tools help you create practical, intentional moments that build deep attachment and secure bonds: from 1:1 parent-child date ideas to simple family rituals and activities that spark joy and cooperation.
Connection first. Behaviour second. Joy always.
Meet Matt & Linda: A Parenting Duo Dedicated to Helping Families Thrive.
At The Thriving Home, we believe that family life is where the most precious connections are made. Founded by Linda and Matt, a duo blending a love of research with real-life parenting experience, we aim to help families thrive. With backgrounds in science, counseling, and over a decade of studying child development, attachment, and parenting, we’ve designed tools and guides to make family life more magical and meaningful.
