~140~Navigating Co‑Parenting: Practical Tips for Stress‑Free Christmas Celebrations
#CoParenting #HolidayStress #DivorcedFamilies #BlendedFamilyChristmas
The holidays should be a time of joy, but for families navigating a split or divorce, Christmas (and New Year’s) can feel like a juggling act of logistics, emotions, and “double‑gift” pressure. In this solo‑run “Friday Riff,” Cheryl dives deep into the teenage mindset during co‑parented holidays, shares real‑world conversation starters, and gives you a roadmap for creating smoother, stress‑free celebrations—all without making your kids feel like they have to be your therapist.
“Put on their lens.”
Cheryl reminds us that a teenager’s view of “two Christmases” isn’t automatically a blessing—it can be confusing, lonely, or even painful. She shows how to turn empathy into actionable, kid‑centered planning that honors both parents while keeping the teen’s emotional safety front‑and‑center.
🔑 Who should listen?
Parents of teens (10‑25 y/o) who are navigating co‑parenting during the holidays—or any special family occasion—and want practical, compassionate strategies that actually resonate with their children.
