Listen "Episode 7: Making the Soup - A Fresh Approach to Family Communication"
Episode Synopsis
In episode 7, Dave and Jen share their experience of reaching a significant milestone - submitting their Spanish visa applications just 48 hours before their tourist visas expire. This achievement creates space for the family to regroup and realign after a chaotic period.
Through their son Kalem's screen time challenges, they explore different approaches to family communication and demonstrate how understanding someone's unique way of processing information can transform parent-child relationships. The episode offers an intimate look at their regrouping process, from parenting strategies to supporting each other's individual growth. When Dave shares his newfound interest in hat-making as an art form, and Jen expresses her desire for homeostasis before their Christmas trip to Canada, they introduce the concept of "borrowing versus stealing" time - a framework for maintaining transparency and trust in relationships. Their conversation illustrates how regular regrouping allows families to adapt and grow together, especially when living abroad.
Through both small daily challenges and significant life changes, they remind us that the key to successful transitions lies in understanding each family member's unique needs and creating space for open dialogue. The episode provides practical insights for families navigating change together, whether across cultures or within their own homes.
