What you might be feeling
Sad, angry, relieved, worried, or all of these at once.
Separation and Co-parenting 🏡🏡
When parents live apart, children and grown-ups both need time to adjust.
Small things that can help
- Tell your child clearly and often that it isn't their fault.
- Try to keep grown-up disagreements away from little ears.
- Keep routines as steady as you can in both homes.
