31. Parenting, Take Two!

With three adult kids and a couple of toddlers, the Vallottons are on round two of parenting and are handing out some of their best “hindsight” advice! 

Jason and Lauren begin by stating, "don't NOT do the hard work," which is easy to forgo when you’re tired! Your kids need to believe you, they need structure, and they will thrive most when you and your spouse put in the hard work to get on the same page. All of these things take work, but it's that is WORTH the effort in the long game. 

Team work really does make the dream work! Jason and Lauren share their thoughts on the potential pitfalls when one parent takes on the majority of child-rearing responsibilities. They also discuss how vital it is to create a partnership between both parents, ensuring each one is a capable teammate. Not only do parents thrive when teamwork is the norm, but it is also really good for children to experience their parents as a good team. 

Connection is worth fighting for, every time! In this episode, the Vallottons focus on understanding your child's individual needs and how meeting their emotional needs through connection can be a key to problem-solving in parenting.

Lastly, Jason and Lauren address the difference between parenting/disciplining symptoms and actually getting to the root issue needs of your child. Solving the real problem is key for your kids’ long-term thriving, and is worth the effort to pursue!
