Ep. 21 - Marriage and Co-Parenting with a PDA Child or Teen

In this episode, I share an excerpt from the Paradigm Shift Program session that focused on Marriage, Co-Parenting, and Communication dynamics while raising a Pathologically Demand Avoidant (PDA) child or teen. I share my personal story, how raising a PDA child has impacted my marriage and share one fundamental insight about being the "lead" parent vs. the parent who is doing less of the caregiving.

This is a great episode to listen to with your partner to help you get on the same page and realize you are not alone in navigating these dynamics!

The Tilt Parenting Podcast Episode with Harry Thompson (Episode 109) has been removed from the website because of allegations against Harry, so I can't link to it as a citation. 

Atlantic Article "Why Women Still Can't Have it All" - the concept of "lead parenting" is named in the writing.
