Working Together As Parents

How do you and your parenting partner team up to instill values in your children and inspire cooperation?

‌

If that’s not so easy to answer, do you find yourselves trying to prove who's right and who's wrong when you disagree?

‌

Winning an argument doesn't mean you're winning at parenting. In fact, it can create distance, tension, and resentment between you and your partner.

‌

Instead of aiming to win arguments, try focusing on working together toward your shared goals and outcomes. Dig deeper. Use vulnerability. Admit your fears. Be honest, not argumentative. Create a culture of support and listening where everyone in your family feels heard.
