Parenting disagreements can feel overwhelming — especially when emotions run high. 

In this short episode of our weekly podcast, couples therapist Rachael Maher shares how understanding attachment science can bring more calm, connection, and teamwork to your marriage.

You’ll discover how parenting conflicts often go deeper than surface-level disagreements — and how to approach them with gentle parenting principles.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why parenting conflicts often hit at the “fight level” — and how to shift toward shared hopes for your children using positive parenting strategies.
• How calm parenting tips can make tough conversations about parenting more productive.
• The surprising role of attachment wounds in sparking arguments — and how they affect your parent-child connection.
• How understanding what’s behind your parenting approach can help you stop power struggles with kids and bring more alignment with your partner.

If you’ve been searching for parenting tips & tools to bring more harmony to your marriage — from parenting without yelling to strategies for raising confident kids — this episode offers insights to help you stay grounded, connected, and on the same team.
