Parenting On The Same Page

Dear parents, the problem that I see most times is, when one parent is authoritarian and the other is permissive, it usually ends up with either parent wanting the other to shift grounds on parenting style which hampers progress and scars the child. This is exactly where the challenges of parenting on the same begins.
1. FOCUS ON YOU FIRST: Parenting is first about you before your partner or anyone else. If you focus on doing the right thing and being intentional in your approach, your partner will notice the change because the result speaks for itself. With this, getting him to be on the same page with you will be a lot easier because of the result they’re seeing in your parenting journey.
2. AVOID CORRECTING YOUR SPOUSE IN THE PRESENCE OF YOUR CHILD. This sends a message to our child that we’re not in it together.
3. ALLOW YOUR PARTNER TO BE THEMSELVES: I want my partner to do things differently without even realizing that we’re not wired, or raised the same, we did not have the same childhood experience.
4. IDENTIFY YOUR SUPERIOR KNOWLEDGE: when it comes to superior knowledge, everyone has an area where they’re more knowledgeable than their partner. Understand this and let your partner know about it.

Dear intentional parents, parenting itself is hard work, not parenting on the same page is hardest. The most important thing is to identify your struggles and work on them.
