Head disconnects from Body at neck

Question

I'm not sure if this is something that is handled in Illustrator or in Character Animator. When I raise my puppet's right hand, her body disconnects from her head which stays in place smiling at me. It's a bit disconcerting. How does one make sure the two parts stay connected?

Thanks--I think this will take you to my puppet, such as she is. Thanks for any help you can give me, and I do think the problems are many.

2 main issues:

The layers weren't all named and organized exactly right, so that caused a lot of them not to work.
The arms and hands were separate instead of being in a group together, which is why they got disconnected.

Still struggling. I appreciate the video but while I've followed every single step in the multitude of instructionals, the puppets still do not respond at all to the various tools. Here is an example of something that has a "draggable" handle: Body fall apart, head comes apart, no explanation above or in any of the videos will explain this.
