Let’s Get on the Same Page: Practical Steps to Resolve Parenting Style Conflicts

Challenges & Solutions

Each of us grows up in a unique family and when we come together as a couple, we don’t usually talk about our parenting beliefs until children are actually on the scene. The more intentional parents are about sharing their stories and values with each other, the more likely it is that you can agree on parenting approaches. 

Sometimes there are differences between genders or just individual styles. Those differences can be helpful to children, but only if you recognize the strengths of each other’s approaches. “Marshmallows” often join with “Generals” because in some ways they need each other. Over time, however,  your differences can become more dramatic and problematic.

Strategies For Prioritizing Health & Wellness In A Positive Way 

There can be a fine line between encouraging healthy habits in our children and creating negative thoughts on body image and self-perception. We want the best for our children, but often forget that they are watching how we treat ourselves and model their own behaviors after that.

Challenges & Solutions

Having a baby is an exciting time in your life. Whether this is your first or third, each arrival brings great joy and new challenges. Parent involvement with a baby’s total care can be immensely rewarding as well as exhausting, and relinquishing some of that care to others is often anxiety-provoking. When you add the transition out to Family Leave and then back to work, plus an ever-changing “new normal,” you deserve an army of support.

That’s where the CVS Welcome Baby, Welcome Back to Work Program comes in.  We’ve got Classes, Conversations and Coaching ready for you so you can answers to these questions many more –     

Will working hurt my attachment with my baby?
How do I know if my childcare provider is a good one?
What are my baby’s cues about hunger, sleep and play time?
Will I always feel so exhausted?

We parents of young children have too much to do and not enough time to do it. So certain things fall off the to-do list, and fitness is usually one of the first to go. At the same time, we know deep down that we are more patient and positive when we take better care of ourselves.
