Parenting as a Team: How to Stay United Through the Chaos | Ep. 671


Listen Later

Dr. Kim and Lindsay dive into a heartfelt conversation about the power of communication and unity in parenting. They talk about why it’s so important for parents to be on the same page when it comes to raising their kids, facing challenges as a team, and setting a strong example through their own decision-making. Along the way, they explore how to navigate differences in parenting styles, adapt to the ever-changing needs of children as they grow, and lean on prayer for guidance in tough decisions.

We pray this episode is helpful for you and your marriage. 

 

Episode highlights include: 

  • It's unrealistic to agree on everything in parenting.

  • Children benefit from the security of united parents.

  • It's important to filter parenting advice based on core beliefs.

  • When you disagree, and you will, model respect for your spouse.
