  • Résumé

  • Having a child is a joyous yet extremely stressful experience for most couples. So, this week I’m talking to Nikki Lively, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) about some of the conversations couples should begin having years before starting a family.

    We cover a wide range of topics including:

    • Deciding if and when to have children
    • Fertility issues
    • Considerations for how many kids to have
    • Gender & personality preferences
    • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
    • Parental roles & expectations
    • Division of labor
    • Boundaries with extended family
    • Culture, religion & community
    • Childcare choices
