"One generation of deeply loving parents would change the brain of the next generation, and with that, the world." - Dr. Charles Raison
When Mom And Dad Have Different Parenting Styles
"I remember a conversation my husband and I had before we had children. I asked him about what kind of parent he thought he would be, and how he wanted to raise our children. He looked at me like a deer in headlights and said, “Well, I figured I’d let you show me, you’re the one who understands kids.”
3 years later, that’s kind of what happened.
I do take the reigns when it comes to parenting. It is my full-time job, and I have a hands on experience and education with children that my husband doesn’t have. I read the books, blogs and articles about parenting, and he has not.
But, my husband has thoughts about how he wants our family to work and our children to behave, any good parent does. I can’t dismiss his wants and trump them with what I think is best. We are a team and we discuss these things together. Even though we are basically on the same page, we are very different people and so we parent differently." [read more]

Be the Change
Most parenting styles are also dominant from how the parent herself/himself was raised. Try talking to your spouse about the positive aspects of each of your upbringing, and see how they can be seamlessly incorporated in your journey as parents. Sometimes, these conversations can lead to beautiful parenting journeys and lovingly nurtured children.
