Episode The 4 Main Parenting Styles: How to Find Common Ground With Your Partner
Most parenting falls into one of four main parenting styles. Do you know what your parenting style is? If you have a partner, is their parenting style the same as yours? You might agree on wanting happy, healthy children, but disagree on how to achieve that shared goal.
Discover the four main parenting styles, how your own upbringing shapes your instincts, and the conversations that can help you turn disagreements into a shared plan. You’ll learn practical questions to ask before conflict hits, how to set boundaries together, and ways to find common ground without needing to agree on every detail.
Dr. Shoshana Bennett is a perinatal psychologist, author, and longtime Fourth Trimester guest. She brings a no-shame approach to helping parents examine familiar patterns, separate shared values from tactics, and build a plan they can revisit and repair.
