The 3D Parent PodcastUneven Distribution of Emotional and Mental Labor in Parenting PartnershipsIn this episode of the 3D Parent Podcast, I’m discussing the uneven distribution of emotional and mental labor and how this impacts parenting partnerships. Emotional and mental labor is the work required for both logistical and psychological aspects of families. It doesn’t usually affect marriage partnerships until after couples have children. And the sad truth is that typically, one person in a marriage is doing the majority of the work. In heterosexual couples, it’s usually women. In the episode, I’ll illustrate what this unequal division looks like and how it can impact your family. Points...

The 3D Parent PodcastWhy Don’t My Kids Listen (and How Do I Fix This)?!In this episode of The 3D Parent Podcast, I’m talking about why kids don’t listen to their parents. This is an issue I hear many parents talk about in my coaching practice, and I also have personal experience with this issue as a mother of four children.

The 3D Parent PodcastTIME-OUTS: ARE THEY IN OR OUT? “Time-outs use your relationship as something that can be given and then taken away; it makes your relationship with your child conditional.” Time-outs are a widely utilized parenting technique.

While this technique is popular and recommended by many professionals, there is evidence that time-outs do much harm and very little good for the parent-child relationship. That’s why in this episode of The 3D Parent Podcast, I will share why time-outs are problematic and suggest ways to discipline without using time-outs. Point...
