In this episode of the Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast, Julia chats with Dr Justin Coulson, one of Australia’s leading parenting experts. He’s a parent himself – he has 6 daughters, he has a PhD in Psychology, is an international speaker, and has written many journal articles and books, the most recent one being 9 Ways to a Resilient Child. He also writes a weekly parenting advice column for Sydney's Daily Telegraph, appears regularly on The Project, the TODAY Show, Studio 10, Mornings, and a large number of radio stations around the nation, and he is the parenting expert at kidspot.com.au.

We discuss the best ways to explain to a child what’s going on if you’re separating, some of the ways children might react to a separation, how we can best help them through this challenging time, whether you should hide your grief from your children, how to handle a co-parenting relationship, and the best way to introduce a new partner.
