97. Using "Fair Play" in Co-Parenting with Frederick Van Riper


Listen Later

Could a "card game" make dividing up parenting responsibilities with your co-parent easier?


Ever since Elise Buie in Episode #75 told me about Eve Rodsky's book "Fair Play," I've wanted to dive into how we can use this system or "card game" to divide up tasks in co-parenting.


When I met Frederick Van Riper, a coach for men & dads and a Certified Fair Play facilitator, I knew he'd be a great guest to answer all my questions.


In this episode, we dive into:

  • What is the "Fair Play" system
  • How can you use it if you're partnered, co-parenting, or on your own with kiddos
  • Common challenges to get started
  • How Frederick's relationship with his wife went from good to great after implementing Fair Play
  • Why your co-parent thriving is in your best interest

  • Fair Play lays out all the work that goes into maintaining our household and raising kids. I'd recommend reading Fair Play to anyone who is in a partnership, hopes to be in a new relationship, or is co-parenting (no matter the temperature of your co-parenting relationship).


    Even if you don't imagine sitting down with your co-parent to work through the "card game," getting clear for yourself on what is in your hand versus what is in your co-parent's can reduce stress and confusion.
