Creating Peace, Not Pressure: Co-Parenting the Holidays

Holidays have a way of amplifying everything. The magic feels brighter, the logistics feel heavier, and the emotions tend to sit right at the surface.

For co-parents, this season can bring up a mix of excitement, grief, guilt, joy, hope, frustration, and everything in between. And if you are feeling that cocktail of emotions, you are not alone.

Over the years working with parents, I have noticed something powerful. Holidays are not challenging because you are doing anything wrong. They are challenging because they represent what used to be and what now has to be different.
