71) Parenting from the same page - with Dr Naomi

What happens when partners stop parenting against each other and start parenting with each other?

In this episode of Dam Parenting, Eva and Maren are joined by psychologist Dr. Naomi Gibson to explore what it really means to show up as a parenting team. Being in a relationship and being parents aren’t the same—but research shows that aligned, cooperative parenting leads to better outcomes for children and parents alike.

Dr. Naomi shares actionable strategies that couples can use right away, including:

• 
  Using “I” statements instead of blame
  Avoiding absolutes like “always” or “never”
  Setting shared parenting goals and values
  Dividing tasks based on strengths—not assumptions
  Rebuilding friendship and emotional intimacy in the relationship

This episode also introduces Dr. Naomi’s 'Stick Together' conversation cards—a beautifully designed tool for partners to have open, honest conversations about parenting challenges, available online and at Monti's World in the Pijp.
