Episode Description
A Wednesday. Nothing in particular has happened. Your nine-year-old is just sad. They've been sad since they got up. They had breakfast quietly. They didn't want to talk in the car. At school they were apparently fine, but their teacher mentioned in passing at pickup that K seemed a bit subdued today. Now they're on the sofa with the dog and a book they're not reading. Their face has the specific looseness of a child whose body is processing a feeling.
In this episode of CoParentSpace we get practical about the sad day, what actually helps for separated and divorced parents, and why, grounded in attachment science and clinical research.
What we cover:
• Sad days happen
• What it isn't
• What you do
• When the child wants to talk
• When sadness is more than a day
• The harder version
