Ep. 146: Parenting When Your Partner is Not On Board

Are you struggling to find common ground with your partner when it comes to parenting? This episode will shed light on this common dilemma as we discuss understanding behavior, creating a support plan, and cultivating authenticity and honesty within the family. We'll explore the reasons behind resistance to paradigm shifts and dive into the intricacies of the owl, watchdog, and possum metaphor. You'll learn how curiosity and connection can bridge differences with your parenting partner, even when they seem insurmountable.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• The importance of addressing underlying issues and supporting your partner with parenting struggles
• How having different parenting styles or philosophies doesn’t mean you can’t be a successful partnership
• About tools needed to navigate these challenges and strengthen the relationship with your parenting partner
