Lisa Bunnage

#156 In this episode, Lisa discusses what happens when parenting styles clash. She covers the balance between polar opposite parenting methods, getting on the same parenting page, mixing parenting styles, and her perspective on calm leadership. 

Lastly, in this episode, Lisa addresses six listener questions, discussing how to handle family intervening during toddler tantrums, what to do when a partner has a different parenting approach for a 3-year-old, how to manage disagreements between parents in the moment, the best way to respond when a husband intervenes while you are parenting, the process for agreeing on consequences for a 3-year-old, and how to navigate using different parenting methods for your toddler.
