Emotionally Intelligent Parenting with Stephanie Pinto

102: Mum vs Dad: The Best Way to Handle Power Struggles (Hubby is back on the podcast!)


Listen Later

Power struggles: we’ve all been there! Sometimes daily. This was us a few years back - but no more.


Your kid digs their heels in, you dig yours in deeper—and suddenly you're in a full-blown standoff over socks, screen time, or sandwiches. 🙃


In this juicy and very real episode, my husband Alex is finally back on the podcast! 🎉


And we’re getting into it:

🔥 How he handles power struggles as a dad

🔥 What he thinks of how I handle them (gulp!)

🔥 Where we clash, where we align, and what we’ve learned from doing things differently


You’ll hear the honest, behind-the-scenes stories (yes, even the messy ones), how culture and upbringing shape our reactions, and the surprising moments we’ve actually switched roles in a power struggle.


Whether you're parenting solo or as a team, this episode is full of relatable moments, real strategies, and lots of laughs.


🎧 Hit play if you want to feel seen, supported, and a little less alone in the chaos.


If you're like me and like to WATCH as well as listen - you can see this episode over on YouTube here.
