A night of connection: Redefining what’s possible in parenting
Last week, a group of parents gathered for The Heart of Parenting – an evening of reflection, conversation and connection, hosted by Anne Louise Carricarte, her daughter Sophia Kardonski and Alex Andrews of The Megan Way at Motivating Minds in Key Biscayne.
Together, they introduced Present Parenting, written by Anne Louise and Sophia; a supportive, seven-week journey and toolbox designed to help parents bring more calm, confidence and connection into everyday family life.
The evening was filled with laughter, shared stories, and gentle reminders that there is no single “right” way to parent. Through honest dialogue and gentle guidance, Carricarte and Kardonski invited parents to imagine what family life could feel like when grounded in presence, compassion and calm.
