In this conversation, guest hosts Amanda Ellis and Stephanie Kay talk with marriage and family therapist (and fire wife) Tiffany Atalla about parenting as a firefighter family and navigating the challenges that come with it. The discussion includes fostering understanding and connection with children, empowering kids to be independent and resilient, and maintaining a united front as parents. Overall, the conversation provides practical tips and insights for effective parenting in the firefighter family. They also touch on the concept of the 'family canoe' and the different roles and dynamics that come into play when a first responder returns home. The conversation highlights the value of affirming and supporting each other as partners and parents, and the importance of seeking help and building a support network. They also discuss the challenges of navigating relationships with non-first responder parent friends and offer insights on finding balance and empathy in those relationships.
