102: Mum vs Dad: The Best Way to Handle Power Struggles (Hubby is back on the podcast!)
Emotionally Intelligent Parenting with Stephanie PintoShow Notes
Power struggles: we’ve all been there! Sometimes daily. This was us a few years back - but no more.
Your kid digs their heels in, you dig yours in deeper—and suddenly you're in a full-blown standoff over socks, screen time, or sandwiches. 🙃
In this juicy and very real episode, my husband Alex is finally back on the podcast! 🎉
And we’re getting into it: 🔥 How he handles power struggles as a dad 🔥 What he thinks of how I handle them (gulp!) 🔥 Where we clash, where we align, and what we’ve learned from doing things differently
You’ll hear the honest, behind-the-scenes stories (yes, even the messy ones), how culture and upbringing shape our reactions, and the surprising moments we’ve actually switched roles in a power struggle.
Whether you're parenting solo or as a team, this episode is full of relatable moments, real strategies, and lots of laughs.
🎧 Hit play if you want to feel seen, supported, and a little less alone in the chaos.
