After Bedtime with Big Little Feelings

The Stay-at-Home Vs. Working Parent Debate: What’s Best for Your Kids?


Listen Later

On today’s episode, we tackle a true hot button topic: Is it better for your kids if you are a working parent or a stay-at-home parent? (Spoiler alert: Both are jobs, both are hard, both are rewarding, aaaannd you’re doing an amazing job!) Join us as we dive into the research and unpack our own unique journeys as parents, including insight from former stay-at-home daddy, Kristin’s husband Tyler (back by popular demand!). You'll leave feeling empowered and beyond proud of yourself, PLUS:

  • Get specific tools for releasing the guilt, so that you can feel confident in your own situation
  • Leverage what the research says about achievement, success, and behaviors between children with a stay-at-home parent or without one
  • Bust through the gender biases that moms and dads face when it comes to working or staying home
  • Tips for finding the right fit for YOUR family 
  • Why either choice is both challenging and rewarding, and how to get rid of the whole "grass is always greener" feeling 
  • Rapid-fire advice from Kristin, Deena, and Tyler, empowering you to feel confident in whatever role you’re currently in
