'Love for Your Child Has to Be Greater Than Hate for Their Parent' | Aaron Dale from Raising Boys 2 Men on Co-Parenting Done Right
Mum's The Word! With Georgia Jones & Kelsey ParkerShow Notes
This week Georgia Jones sits down with Aaron Dale, co-parenting advisor, author of The Co-Parent, and the man behind Raising Boys 2 Men, for an honest chat about co-parenting, blended families and unlearning the patterns we're handed.
Aaron gets real about being raised by a single mum, an absent father he last saw in a Sainsbury's twelve years ago, and the moment at a funfair when, aged 18, he had to be the one to tell his younger sister they shared a dad.
Then it goes deeper: two sons from two relationships, the fear of "becoming my dad," learning to co-parent without letting ego lead, and the hard truth that money and access can both become tools of control if you let them.
Plus the useful stuff: the 90-second emotion rule, why you should go to therapy before you have kids, the "backpack" of trauma we hand our children, and why a dad who does the cuddles is every bit as vital as the one who does the rough and tumble.
Grab a cuppa and get comfy.
