Parenting in a blended family can be tough — especially when your ex has completely different rules and expectations.
Today, we're tackling a common source of frustration: navigating household differences. We'll uncover the four biggest myths that keep blended couples stuck and reveal the counteractive truths that bring clarity, confidence, and collaboration.
Plus, we’ll share our Four A’s strategy for communicating with your ex to build more consistency between homes.
You'll Discover:
- The four myths about parenting across different households—and what you can do to move beyond delusion, confusion, and frustration.
- How to establish healthy boundaries in your home without trying to control the other home.
- Why "Our home is our zone" should be your mantra.
- How to avoid fear-based parenting and hold firm to your values—even when they don't align with the other home.
- A simple four-step communication framework to foster better co-parenting collaboration and create more consistency for your kids.
