Feeling like you and your partner are parenting from different planets? You're not alone. In this episode, we dive into why different parenting styles aren't the problem you think they are, when misalignment becomes dangerous, and practical ways to create a united front even when you don't always agree.

 

Your teenage son is watching every interaction between you and your co-parent. When parenting differences turn into open conflict, it creates insecurity and gives him cracks to exploit. But here's the good news: your son actually needs both perspectives to develop stronger problem-solving skills and resilience.

In this episode you will:
  • Learn the difference between healthy parenting differences and harmful conflict
  • Discover 5 practical strategies to align on the big stuff without losing your authenticity
  • Stop wasting energy trying to change your co-parent and focus where your influence is greatest
  • Create peace in your home instead of constant parenting battles
