How To Become the Parent (or Step Parent) You've Always Wanted To Be
If your home is juggling teens, stepparent dynamics, and even caring for aging parents, this conversation gives you a clear, rules-based plan you can use across all of it.
Dr. Aliza Pressman is a developmental psychologist, co-founder of the Mount Sinai Parenting Center, and author of The 5 Principles of Parenting. She lays out what works in blended homes, co-parenting, and hormonal seasons so your house runs on calm and consistency, not crisis. You’ll learn how to align expectations across two homes, set stepparent boundaries that build trust, and protect everyone’s nervous system when hormones run high.
What you’ll learn:
- How to balance kids, stepparent dynamics, and elder care without burning out
- Stepparent boundaries and practical language that build trust
- Ways to keep rules and consequences consistent across two homes
- How to use repair before discipline and what that looks like in practice
- Phone and sleep limits that reduce reactivity and improve moods
- A 5-minute reset to use before tough conversations
- How to split the mental load so it actually feels fair
- How to spot your triggers and stay regulated when hormones run high
This isn’t about perfect parenting. It’s about a steady plan you can use tonight to make a blended, hormonal household feel sane again.
