Hi
Looking for some advice.
My husband and I have 2 DD's ages 6 and 10. We tend to have different parenting styles - I have a softer parenting style and he is much much harsher as in he tends to shout at them when they don't do as he asks and I really think it's impacting their relationship with him. He is a lovely fun dad in other ways and can be v caring but just can't handle when they disobey him. No need to advise me that they are their own people and this attitude is completely wrong. I tell him this all the time but he just can't seem to react in any other way.
DD 10 is v sensitive so my husband's tendency to get cross with them when she doesn't do what he asks really doesn't end well, DD 6 needs a lot of attention which is quite tiring so this can be challenging when he/I/We need a little time out and can end in him getting cross as she is consistently on the go and needing interaction.
We had some marriage counselling recently and the penny dropped during this that one of the main causes of conflict in our marriage is our differing approach to parenting.
I am thinking some sort of parenting course might help us get some consistency in our approach. Does anyone have anything they recommend? We're in the UK, in NW England.
Thanks for your help!
