This time of the year can be very difficult for families who are co-parenting in different homes. Acknowledge and validate your child’s feelings throughout the transitioning between your two homes and allow them to enjoy their time with their other parent without feelings of guilt. If your home is feeling empty while they are away, try to take this time for your own self-care, perhaps enjoying some much-deserved relaxation time.
Looking for some inspiration and ideas to help you with your co-parenting situation? Our eLearning program Parenting in Partnership through Separation and Divorce can help.
