Ep. 29: Group Parenting: What It Is And Why We Don’t Do It

In this first episode of SEASON THREE, we tackle group parenting. What is it?  Why does it matter to me as a young mom? (Let’s start this season off with a bang, shall we?)  With examples from her own life and parenting, host Sarah Short discusses the current push to make collective parenting decisions with a group of families. If you’re a new mom who hasn’t encountered this yet, you’ll hear Sarah’s insightful framework for thinking through how to parent alongside your friends (and family!)  By breaking down parenting into two categories: philosophy and practice, this episode walks you through how parenting in community with similar philosophy can be incredibly beneficial and encouraging, while illuminating the pitfalls of collectively agreeing to parenting practices.  From smartphones to Playstation and Xbox time to ice cream at the pool - you don’t want to miss this episode as we dive into how to courageously parent our individual kids, how to retain the ability to change our minds, and how to maintain healthy friendships with other parents!  Click play NOW for the FIRST episode of SEASON TWO!
