Next week we specifically on defining and describing separation anxiety, particularly in children living in two homes.

This week starts our new series on separation anxiety. This is a phrase family law professionals often hear as both a sword and a shield in coparenting conflict.

In this series, we'll address what separation anxiety actually is, how to recognize it, and how best to deal with it as coparents. This week's episode is an overview of the topic, which we'll break down in greater detail in future episodes.

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.
