Parenting: sharing the mental load

from It Takes A Village · host RNZ

The long-standing friction in parenting - who does the unpaid, administrative, load? The scheduling and the logistics of the kids' lives. Who signs the form for a school trip, who chooses and buys the birthday presents and then organises the party, who's in the group chat for after school activities? For the parent doing too much how can they step away, and do less? And for the parent not doing enough how can they get up to speed and be better part of the system? Kristin Ward leads the parent coaching team at the Parenting Place. Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details
