Episode Transcript
Ron: You’ve heard me say it before, “As parents united you stand, but divided they fall.”
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Here’s the idea, parents who are united in their parenting approach provide more stability and consistency in their home. But, practically, how do you get on the same page if you have different parenting styles?
Well, go to a class. Read a book. Write down your thoughts about what has influenced you as a parent. What were they trying to accomplish? What are your thoughts about discipline, punishment, and encouragement? Write it down so you can be clear. Then share that with your spouse and merge your ideas from there. It’ll take some work, but your kids are worth it. For FamilyLife Blended, I’m Ron Deal.
