Co-parenting after divorce can feel overwhelming, especially when emotions are raw and communication is difficult. In this episode, Justin Milrad and Jill Kaufman share practical, research-informed strategies from their new book to help parents lower conflict, protect their children’s emotional well-being, and create more stability across two homes. They discuss how to communicate without escalating, when parallel parenting may be necessary, how to keep kids out of the middle, and why small changes in your approach can make a lasting difference for your family.
