Leah Richeimer
"My Spouse Just Doesn't Get It!" What to do When You Hit a Co-Parenting Roadblock
Complex kids can put a major strain on our marriages AND, often, they are like shalom bais barometers; they feel the tension in the air when we are not co-parenting well. So what can we do? Leah Richheimer challenges women to self-reflect on their view of their husband’s chinuch choices. If we look down on our spouse’s ability to parent, rather than see the positive intent behind their actions and get curious, we will feel resentful and distant. She gives some important communication ideas to help couples talk about chinuch without getting into a power struggle and emphasizes the power of shalom bais to positively influence our child’s behavior.
