57. “How Do I Get My Partner On Board with Gentle Parenting?” with Bryana Kappadakunnel

Do you ever feel like you and your partner are on two totally different pages when it comes to parenting? Maybe you’ve fully embraced gentle / conscious / respectful parenting, but your partner feels strongly about using punishments. Maybe you’re arguing constantly about how to handle tough parenting moments.

If you can relate, you’re not alone! In this week’s episode, I talk with fellow licensed therapist Bryana Kappadakunnel about how to get on the same page with our partners when it comes to parenting. We talk about why it can feel so triggering when our partners make parenting mistakes, how to handle it when we disagree, and the single most important thing we can do each day to get aligned with our partners around parenting.

Here’s the thing: It’s not our job to get our partners “on board” with our way of parenting. We can’t control anyone else, and when we try to do that, we don’t model a healthy relationship dynamic for our kids. When we can instead get curious and lean into connection in these moments (sound familiar?!), we can see massive shifts in our partnerships and our parenting.
