Setting Values Without Setting Off Your Partner: Can You Really Avoid Offence?

À propos de cet épisode

<blockquote>This week on&nbsp;<em>Blended</em>, Kate Ferdinand is joined by Cilla and Nathalie for an honest conversation about one of the biggest pressures new parents face in blended families — how do you start conversations about the values, routines, and boundaries you want for your first child together… without causing offence?</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote>A listener writes in, worried about how to bring up parenting differences with her partner. She’s about to have their first baby together and doesn’t want him assuming things will be the same as with his older kids. But how do you have that conversation without it sounding like you’re criticising his parenting?</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote>The ladies discuss why values and routines aren’t just about control they’re about raising healthy, secure children. Nathalie argues that setting boundaries and not encouraging can make kids rebel, while Cilla believes there are times children need firm direction, even if it’s hard in the moment.</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote>They also share tips on how to start the conversation without comparing or criticising — and why nothing should be left to chance when it comes to raising kids in a blended home.</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote>Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/blended/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@blended </a>on Instagram to share your story.</blockquote><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
