When Parenting Styles Clash
Brandon uncovers the complexities of parenting when styles clash, exploring the tension between nurturing and structured approaches and how these differences create friction between parents and impact their children’s development. Through real-life examples, he highlights the importance of consistency, communication, and emotional regulation—both in how parents engage with their kids and navigate conflict with each other. He emphasizes that the way parents handle disagreements can have a greater impact on a child than the actual decisions being made. Brandon also tackles defiant behavior, explaining why teens push boundaries and how parents can respond without letting emotions take over. He stresses the power of natural consequences, the role of accountability, and the need for parents to align their approaches. This episode offers valuable insights on setting boundaries, fostering independence, and finding balance in parenting.
