Your Parenting Style: How it Affects Your Partner and Your Child

/

Calling all “Helicopter Parents,  Tiger Mums,  Bulldozer Parents, Workaholic Dads and Free Range Parents…”

Are you an easy going kind of parent or do you like to run a ‘tight ship’ and keep everyone and everything in order? And what about your partner are they the same or completely different and if they’re different does it drive you crazy sometimes? You say to your child “no snacks until after dinner” and you turn around and your partner is munching on a chocolate bar and sharing it with your child!

Every parent has their own style or approach parenting which, if we’re honest, is mostly its automatic – you don’t have to think much about it – it’s just who you are. And if that works for you and your family – that’s great! BUT what if your parenting style clashes with your partners’ approach to raising your children and what if you and your children can’t seem to get along – you just don’t seem to get where they’re coming from?

Today my guest is going to shed light on how your approach to parenting affects your child and your partner, and she’ll offer ways you can increase your awareness on your parenting style. Most importantly, you’ll get great practical tips on how you can become more flexible and more capable so you can develop your own resourcefulness (Tracy calls this ‘self-mastery’) and build strong relationships with the people you love most in the world.
