175. 8 Tips to Protect Kids From Stress and Tension When Moving Between Homes
More ways to listen:
Children moving between two homes WANT one thing — to be connected to the people they love. And what they NEED most is to experience peace and freedom to simply enjoy time spent with each of their parents.
This might seem simple, but many kids don't get what they want or need due to unhealthy co-parenting patterns. Most often, that leads to unnecessary stress and tension for kids.
