Send us Fan MailWhat if the parenting battle isn't really about your child?Every parent wants a peaceful home, yet many of us find ourselves having the same arguments over and over again. We tell ourselves that next time we'll stay calmer or respond differently and yet somehow we end up right back in the same cycle.What if the problem isn't the argument itself... but it was the pattern behind it?In this conversation, conscious parenting and trauma-informed life coach Latiffe Ghanem shares how an unexpected career change and her own personal growth journey transformed the way she understands parenting.
