175. 8 Tips to Protect Kids From Stress and Tension When Moving Between Homes

Blended Family Breakthrough

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.

Why do we say it's unnecessary?

Because parents and step-parents CAN make a difference and protect the kids. When you do your part to follow the 8 tips we share in this episode, you'll be setting your kids up for the best possible outcomes as they move between their two homes.
