Common parenting styles
Key Takeaways and Lessons Learned from upcoming show;
*Come to a compromise when you and your spouse have very different parenting styles. Finding common ground is essential even if you land on completely opposite sides of parenting approaches.
*Never undermine or contradict your partner's rules/consequences in front of the kids. It teaches manipulation tactics and confuses them when mom and dad don't present a united front.
*Appreciate and acknowledge your spouse's parenting strengths. In this case, Steven admired how Kori devoted herself fully to raising the kids, while Kori was thankful Steven insisted their daughters would never fight.
*Prioritize open and honest communication with your partner about disagreements in private first, before responding in front of the kids.
*As children grow older, grant them increased responsibilities and privileges. This shows them you notice their maturity while setting reasonable expectations.
*The emotional parent-child connection can grow with kids into adulthood without breaking. Kids will always lean on engaged parents who make them feel secure.
