Episode Description

Sunday afternoon. Your six-year-old has melted down at the swing set, in front of the other parents. They've thrown a wooden block at another child. They've called you a name they've never used before. They're now lying on the grass with their face in the crook of their arm, crying in a way that's reached the point where the breath is catching.

In this episode of CoParentSpace we get practical about why your child is acting out — what actually helps for separated and divorced parents, and why — grounded in attachment science and clinical research.

What we cover:
• Behaviour is communication
• What's usually underneath
• What this means for what you do
• When behaviour is more than communication
• Closing

Made for parents raising children across two homes. Best for: All ages.
