More ways to listen:
What's the key to overcoming parent-child allegiances?
In a word — it's UNITY!
Over the previous several episodes we've talked about some of the emotional barriers that bio-parents often experience. We also covered those "easy wrong turns" that stepparents tend to make while navigating a parent-child allegiance.
As you're working through your own emotions and mindsets, you'll also need to intentionally build unity so that you can become effective parenting partners and work as a team.
In this episode, we share five powerful strategies that will help you to get on the same page as you lead your family forward — together! These strategies will reduce parent-child allegiances and keep the two of you connected, even when you don't agree.
