Coparent Academy Podcast

Let us hear from you!

In this episode of our effective discipline series, we discuss how improper discipline can lead to litigation over custody and visitation. We touch on the difference between discipline and abuse, including the damaging effects of corporal punishment, fear, and emotional manipulation, even when they seem legal or commonplace. Learn how consistency in discipline practices can make all the difference in your children perceiving the discipline they receive to be fair, and why it's important to avoid punishing your child as a way to get back at your coparent.

In this episode, we talk with Sol Kennedy, the creator of the Best Interest coparent communication application. We discuss the coparenting challenges Sol faced and how these experiences led to the creation of an AI-powered solution designed to help people stuck in toxic coparenting relationships filter out unhelpful communication and keep their coparent communication child focused.

Please forgive the poor quality of my audio from this Zoom conversation, although Sol's audio sounds great - which is way more important!
