Co-Parenting and Divorce: How to work together to give your children the support and safety they need


Listen Later

Hello again friend!

One of my students broke my heart a few weeks ago. He told me that he was  sad because Mom and Dad fight a lot and don't get along well. He continued to say how he covers his ears when they fight. 

The emotional toll on him  is clear. Sadly, I can also tell- by his behavior- which of his parents has him for the week.

Divorce and separation are never easy. This I know personally because I lived it with my parents too.

If you are in this situation and struggle to communicate with the other parent, you have come to the right place!

I spoke to Co-parenting and divorce coach, Viviane Veraguth this week.   Some of the topics we discuss around divorce, separation, and co-parenting include:

  • What exactly  co-parenting coaching entails?
  • How to tell your children you are getting a divorce
  • Helping your child work through the grief of separation
  • Introducing new partners to your children
  • Practical tips for parents when the situation is volatile
  • Practical tips for parents to work together when raising their kiddos.
