Hello again friend!
One of my students broke my heart a few weeks ago. He told me that he was sad because Mom and Dad fight a lot and don't get along well. He continued to say how he covers his ears when they fight.
The emotional toll on him is clear. Sadly, I can also tell- by his behavior- which of his parents has him for the week.
Divorce and separation are never easy. This I know personally because I lived it with my parents too.
If you are in this situation and struggle to communicate with the other parent, you have come to the right place!
I spoke to Co-parenting and divorce coach, Viviane Veraguth this week. Some of the topics we discuss around divorce, separation, and co-parenting include:
What exactly co-parenting coaching entails?How to tell your children you are getting a divorceHelping your child work through the grief of separationIntroducing new partners to your childrenPractical tips for parents when the situation is volatilePractical tips for parents to work together when raising their kiddos.Books mentioned in the episode:
