Does the Ex seem to be sabotaging your best parenting efforts?

We all have priorities for our kids - a vision for the values, character traits and lifestyle choices we want them to embrace as they grow up.  But the influence of our Ex and the other home can sometimes send mixed messages and steer the kids in the opposite direction.

In this episode, we'll focus on how to cope with the differences between your kid's two homes.  We'll share an effective strategy to guide your kids toward the values and character traits that are important to you - and keep them from following in unhealthy footsteps.

And better yet…we'll accomplish this without badmouthing or criticizing our Ex or their spouse — and without attempting to control what happens in the other home!

If you're ready to take action and counteract the impact of an unhealthy Ex, then this episode is for you!

You'll Discover:

• Two critical mindsets for success
• The Inoculation Strategy - what it is and how it works
• Real-life examples, tips and dialog scripts that you can use today
• How to make an impact and influence the kids even if you have limited or less visitation time 
• A next step opportunity to get united (in your own home) around the values, character traits and lifestyle choices you want to instill in the kids
