Are you struggling to connect with your child after a divorce or separation? Do you feel like parenting issues may lead to problems in your coparenting relationship? In this episode, we discuss a powerful, trauma-informed approach to connection called PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, and Empathy).

Originally developed by Dr. Dan Hughes for children in the foster system, PACE can help strengthen your bond, rebuild trust, and support your child through emotional challenges—even in high-conflict situations.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

  • How to create a safe emotional space for your child
  •  The 4 key elements of the PACE approach
  •  How to use playfulness to repair disconnection
  •  The difference between accepting feelings vs. behaviors
  •  How curiosity and empathy can help your child feel heard

Parenting through separation or divorce is tough, but with the right tools, you can build a stronger, healthier relationship with your child.
