For children to thrive, they need calm reassurance from the adults around them. Helping every child have a safe harbour is always important, particularly where parents share caring responsibilities across two households - due to separation or divorce. But the same messages apply to any family where there is more than one person in a parenting or caring role.Today we’re discussing some helpful tips about managing shared parenting at this time with parenting and family psychology expert, Professor Matt Sanders, and Professor Daryl Higgins, Director of the Institute of Child Protection Studies at the Australian Catholic University, whose research has focused on public health approaches to protecting children.Professor Matt Sanders is ready to answer your questions on the Parenting in a Pandemic podcast.
