Send us a text

Have you ever wondered how your parenting style might be affecting your child’s development and behavior? Join us, Terrance and Sandy, along with our lovely daughter Ayla, as we tackle the complexities of parenting styles and their impacts. We share our personal experiences and even play a game that tests our understanding of each other's parenting approaches. You'll see how empathy can sometimes be more effective than the hammer of justice, and gain valuable insights into relationships and essential conversations for married couples.

In this engaging episode, we delve into the roles and responsibilities of parents as they navigate their children's defiance and behavioral challenges. From avoiding spanking to embracing the "because I said so" rule, we share our own experiences with Ayla's upbringing, reflecting on our different approaches to discipline. We also tackle the challenges of adolescence, covering topics such as social media addiction, cyberbullying, and nurturing a teenager's developing identity. Don't miss our emphasis on maintaining a united front as parents, and learn how understanding and communication can strengthen your family bond.
