Are you a parent navigating different religious beliefs in your household, or worried about your child's exposure to a coparent's faith? This episode is for you.

In this re-edited version of Episode 5 of Coparent Academy, you'll hear the story of a child who found common ground between Southern Baptist and Muslim parents (it involves bacon!), and we'll break down a compelling Reddit post about a dad's fear of 'indoctrination.' Drawing from personal experience as a 'preacher's kid' who was discouraged from independent thought, we offer a refreshing perspective on religious upbringing.

Discover why children, even toddlers, aren't truly 'indoctrinated' in the way many parents fear, and how allowing exposure to different belief systems can actually foster resilience and open-mindedness. We share strategies for teaching your child to think critically and independently about faith, ensuring they can choose their own spiritual path when they're ready.
