Cheat sheet on getting your spouse on board

1) Share your vision.

Give your partner a good sense of what you want for your children, and why you want it. This is an often-overlooked step, which is pretty well the key to all the rest.

2) Use a safe word to take discussions away from the children
Ben and I have one, and it’s saved our bacon so many times.

3) Enlist outside help.
Marital therapy, parent coaching, or some other form of outside help that involves an actual human being, not just a book or an app.
Make the investment. During today’s episode I share about the huge problems Ben and I used to experience around money, and how a financial planner helped us SO much. There is someone out there for you. Make the investment.

Temper Tantrums and Potty Training:

Today I share about two helpful free guides I offer.
While the podcast is long-form – your opportunity to look into the mind of a child development expert – the free guides are super quick.

You can watch the video, read the checklist, and immediately handle the temper tantrums or get started with potty training (depending on which guide you choose : )
