Are you following positive parenting but your partner is more authoritarian?
This is a common question I receive from parents and so in today's episode, I share a study that was fascinating to me.
In this solo episode, I talk about how you can address parenting differences with your partner without making them feel bad, I chat about the different parenting style and I answer the question of what the long-term impacts are to having different parenting styles.
