43. How to Build More Consistency For Your Kids


Listen Later

Wouldn't it be awesome for your kids to experience lots of consistency between their two homes? 

It can feel overwhelming (sometimes impossible) to try and make that happen when you're kids are moving back and forth.  Some co-parents are able to work together and establish matching ideals and expectations for the kids — but more often than not, this isn't the case. 

When there's different values and priorities, disagreement and conflict between you and your Ex can escalate.  That makes creating consistency really complicated.  Usually this situation builds more stress and less stability for the kids.  But it doesn't have to be this way. 

In this episode we'll explore how to maintain stability for your kids and work towards consistency between homes — even if you and your Ex aren't on the same page.   

And we mentioned in the episode that we would love to help you make this happen in your family.  To find out how, just click here to schedule a free coaching call with us.

You'll Discover:

  • The #1 key to building consistency — even when there's disagreement between the homes
  • The benefits of focusing on common ground
  • The importance of setting the standard in your own home
  • How to maintain realistic expectations of the other home
