While every parent or carer wants the best for their children, parents and carers may not always agree on the best way to parent. Some parents prefer to take a firmer or more authoritarian approach to raising their children, others may prefer a more gentle and collaborative parenting approach. These differences can result in conflict between parents and confuse children.
If you’d like to know how to manage different approaches to parenting with your parenting partner then this interview is for you. The discussion is relevant for parents of children aged toddler to teen.
