- Co-Parenting and Story Alignment: It’s helpful if at least one parent models and sticks to the agreed upon story, even if co-parents are not on good communication terms.

- Tailoring the Story for Different Age Groups: How to adjust the divorce story delivery for toddlers versus teenagers, emphasizing the need to address the emotions and concerns specific to each age group.
