DEEP DIVE: Parenting as a Team
Parenting as a team is an ongoing challenge\u2013 even when your relationship with your co-parent is usually harmonious. But matching headspaces with your co-parent about a problem your family, or one of your children, is dealing with doesn't have to be the goal.\xa0\nParenting as a team can often mean taking turns, whether it's with the pancake-flipping, the hard talks with teenagers, or the 3 am worried Googling of ICD-10 diagnoses. In this episode we talk about what\u2019s worked for us in moments of disagreement or struggle with our spouses, and how we found common ground.\nIf getting through the pandemic meant zooming in, just getting to the next lamppost, parenting as a team means zooming way out. If you know you're on the same page about the adults you want your children to become, it's a little easier to chill out about how they\u2019ll get there.\xa0\nHere are links to some of the resources mentioned in the episode:\nAmy and Margaret discuss their "Pre-Cana" experiences in the Catholic Church, and the usefulness of the Engaged Encounter program in particular.
