Discover yourself in parental collaboration

Parenting is often a journey of self-discovery. Discover how important it is to understand ourselves!

Partner parenting offers us a unique opportunity for self-reflection. Mutual support and understanding between parents can reveal our own values and beliefs. Be aware of how important it is to seek a balance between your own perspective and your partner's needs. Sharing feelings and thoughts strengthens the relationship and allows not only your children to grow, but also you as parents. Parenting is not just about the children, but also about how you two learn from each other.

Imagine that your partner did something differently than you agreed. How do you react at first?

Select an answer:

I stop, take a deep breath, and think about what led to that change. I want to address this immediately to prevent it from happening again. I'll leave it as it is, but I'll mark it "for the list." I will do my part my way and we will move on. I will ask the children how they perceived it, and I will react accordingly.

When a partner suggests a solution that you disagree with, what is the first thing that comes to your mind?

Select an answer:

"Maybe she is right, I will try to understand it." "I have to defend my position, otherwise I will lose respect." "I will have to give in again." "That will be interesting, let's talk about it." "Let them try it – then they will see for themselves."

When a child does something wrong and you and your partner have differing opinions on the reaction, what do you do?

Select an answer:

I suggest that we discuss it later when the kids are not listening. I insist on my own right away, even in front of the children. I will remain calm and allow my partner to react in their own way. I will take control and explain my position to the children. I am interested in how the child perceives – through its perspective, we can make decisions.

Which image best represents your ideal parenting team?

Select an answer:

Two hands holding a common stone. An orchestra where everyone plays a different instrument, but it sounds beautiful. The helmsman and navigator on the same ship. A pair of climbers, tied to the same rope. Two people watching the same movie from different seats.

What frustrates you the most when your partner behaves differently in parenting than you do?

Select an answer:

When he does it without explanation. When he pretends that his way is the only right one. When he completely ignores what we agreed upon. When a child starts to use our differences. When I feel that my words have no weight.

How do you most frequently search for a common solution?

Select an answer:

I'm thinking about what could be a "win-win." I am looking for a compromise, even though it is not ideal. I start from what children currently need. I watch whether my partner is yielding – and I adapt to that. I will give it time – solutions will come naturally.

If you had to compare your partnership dialogue in upbringing to music, it would be...

Select an answer:

Jazz – sometimes chaotic, but with respect for others. Rock – strong, emotional, explosive. Classic – stable, with certain rules. Improvisation - I never know what will come next. Silence - a lot happens between the lines.

Imagine that you have a differing opinion about the school for a child. How would you like to address it?

Select an answer:

Let's make a joint list of pros and cons. Everyone will advocate for their school and we will decide by voting. We will visit both schools and then we will talk. We will tell the child and let them choose. Let's take a week for that, so everyone can go through it on their own.

What is most important to you in parental partnership?

Select an answer:

Respect for differences. Clear agreement and discipline. Support, even though I disagree. Inner peace and balance. Authenticity and truthfulness.

If you had to define a "good team" in parenting, what would it be?

Select an answer:

Two who listen to each other and seek bridges. Two who are pulling in the same direction, even though each in a different style. Two who can argue and then smile. Two who have each other's backs. Two who make mistakes – and grow in the process.
