Parenting outside of the traditional family is often seen as a negative thing, but it doesn't necessarily have to be. As a child psychologist who has worked with families of all different kinds, I can tell you with great certainty that it's not WHAT your family looks like; it's HOW you parent that makes all the difference.

I've also parented within a non-traditional family structure, and my kids - who are young adults now - are AMAZING people. Our family is PROOF that non-traditional parenting can be functional.

And what do I mean by functional? In my experience, the goal of most families is to create an environment that is positive and supportive where everyone in the family feels free to pursue their natural talents and interests.

When you're done listening to this episode, you'll feel encouraged knowing that non-traditional families can be just as functional as traditional ones.

I'll talk about what being a non-traditional family means, why it isn't a negative thing, and the habits that need to be present for any family to work.
