Holidays can be stressful times even for families in which two parents reside together. Co-parenting during the holidays can cause unique challenges, especially if the separation or divorce happened relatively recently.

Successful co-parenting does not happen by accident. It involves open communication and careful planning beforehand. In this episode Ellen Wright and her former client Tifani Kotsioloulas discuss some of the difficulties that face their family co-parenting situations during the holiday season.
