Divorce and co-parenting can be challenging, especially when your child tells you they don’t like being at their other parent’s home. But how do you know what’s really going on—and what’s the right way to respond?
In this episode, we break down three common scenarios parents face when their child expresses distress about time at the other parent's house. You’ll learn how to handle:
✅ When a child exaggerates or embellishes their experiences—how to validate their feelings while discerning the truth.
✅ Minor discomforts, like different rules, routines, and expectations—when to talk to your co-parent and when to let it go.
✅ When their distress is serious and truly impacting their emotional well-being—how to recognize red flags and take appropriate action.
If you’re navigating a high-conflict co-parenting situation or simply want to better support your child through two-home transitions, this episode is packed with practical advice you can use today.
🎧 Tune in now and gain the confidence to respond in a way that keeps your child’s well-being at the center.
