Co-Parenting Conflicts: 3 Strategies to Align Your Parenting Styles for Better Family Dynamics
Parenting differences can create chaos in families, but they don't have to. In this episode, I break down the four main parenting styles—authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and uninvolved—and explain how understanding these differences can transform your co-parenting relationship.
Drawing from my own experience navigating conflicting parenting styles in her first marriage, Cynthia shares honest insights about how our backgrounds, personalities, and experiences shape the way we parent. She explores why couples inevitably clash over parenting approaches and offers practical solutions for finding common ground.
You'll discover:
- The four primary parenting styles and their impact on children
- Why we parent the way we do (and why our partners parent differently)
- How conflicting styles confuse kids and create family tension
- Three powerful strategies for creating a united front in parenting
Key Takeaways:
- Shared Family Values - How to identify 3-5 core values you both want to instill
- Must Agree On vs. Okay to Differ - Distinguishing between non-negotiable safety issues and acceptable differences
- The Pause and Plan Phrase - A code word system to avoid undermining each other in front of the kids
Whether you're married, divorced, or co-parenting in any capacity, this episode provides actionable tools to reduce conflict, support your partner, and create the consistency your children need to thrive.
Perfect for parents who want to stop fighting about parenting styles and start working together as a team.
