You love the same kids. You probably even want many of the same things for them. So why can you and your spouse look at the exact same parenting moment and see it completely differently?
In this episode of The Art of Raising Humans, Kyle and Sara share more of their own parenting story—including the beliefs they brought into parenting, the conflicts they didn’t expect, and the very different approaches they initially had to sleep, big emotions, discipline, connection, and their roles as parents.
They talk openly about how childhood experiences, personality, fear, expectations, and even professional training can shape the way we respond to our kids—and why getting on the same page doesn’t mean becoming the same parent.
You’ll hear how they moved from judging each other’s approach to building a shared vision for their family, while still making room for their individual strengths.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why different parenting styles can create so much tension between couples
- How your own childhood can quietly influence the way you parent
- Why shared long-term goals matter more than handling every situation identically
- How to start moving toward a more connected, collaborative approach to parenting together
If parenting disagreements are creating tension in your marriage or leaving you wondering how you’ll ever get on the same page, this conversation will give you hope—and a different way to think about becoming a team.
