TPP 051: Asher and Debbie Talk About Handling Parent-Child Conflict

Published: April 4, 2017, 8 a.m.

b'Today\\u2019s episode is a Kid\\u2019s POV Special episode featuring another conversation with 12-year-old Asher. Our topic? Conflict. More specifically, handling parent-child conflict between the two of us. We\\u2019re tackling this topic because I\\u2019ve been getting questions from listeners who want to know a) if we even have conflicts at all and b) if so, how we handle them.\\nThe easy answer to the first part of that question is DEFINITELY. We DEFINITELY have conflict. I\\u2019m very human in that way, as is Asher. Today, we\\u2019ll spend the episode answering the second part of that question. We\\u2019ll talk about the kinds of things that crop up and cause conflict between us, and then we\\u2019ll share with you what that actually looks like in our world\\u2014what I do, what Ash does, and most importantly, how we move through and past it.\\nPro tip: This is a good episode for co-listening! When Asher and I listen to podcasts, we dump a puzzle out on the dining room table and listen while building the puzzle. It makes for a nice combination!\\n\\xa0About Debbie & Asher\\nDebbie Reber is the founder and CEO of Tilt Parenting and the host of the TiLT Parenting Podcast. 12-year-old Asher is Debbie\\u2019s child and is regularly featured on the podcast.
