Let us hear from you!

The weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year’s are often fraught with peril for coparents. But does conflict have to be inevitable?

In this episode, we strip away the sentimentality to look at the practical side of holiday coparenting. Whether you have a court order or are just winging it, we discuss how to manage expectations, communicate in advance, and prevent your children from becoming pawns in a holiday power struggle.

Takeaways:

  • Setting expectations: Don't promise what you can't deliver.
  • Why communication in November saves headaches in December.
  • How to make the most of your time (even if you don't wake up with them on the 25th).
