Babyproofing Your Marriage- Julia Kantor, LMFT The best way to work through parenting differences with your partner is to start with genuine curiosity about where they’re coming from. Agree in advance to put the decision aside for a separate conversation. Begin with open ended questions about your partner’s position. Just listen. Suspend judgment. Then switch roles and have him do the same with you. Once you’ve both been fully heard and understood, you’ll be in a much better position to collaboratively problem solve.
