 Want to become a confident parent in 12 weeks or less? Start here: https://drlindsayemmerson.com/calm

In this episode, we'll talk about how to handle parenting disagreements with your partner without constant conflict or confusion for your kids. You'll learn what research says about parenting differences, why you don't need to be perfectly aligned to raise thriving children, and eight practical strategies to communicate, compromise, and stay united as a parenting team.

New to my podcast?  I'm Dr. Lindsay Emmerson, a clinical psychologist and Mom of 4, and I help parents find that sweet spot between support and structure that psychology research tells us is best for families now and best for our kids in the future.
