BONUS Episode: Terms Defined
08/10/21 • 16 min
Diane and Rick stand on several principles as they advise co-parents about conflict and communication. On this bonus episode, they discuss the meaning of the terms "co-parent" and "co-parenting,." Are they nouns or verbs? Also, what does it mean to set healthy boundaries with a co-parent (not too rigid and not too loose)? Finally, they discuss their newly-coined term, "NON-Impossible" co-parents, and that no one is let off the hook when it comes to two-way communication. Saying you have an impossible parent doesn't give you a right to be impossible yourself!

S1.E3. How Do You Feel About That?
Kids can leave parents speechless with their bizarre statements or tough questions about the other parent. Diane and Rick respond to Jessica from Atlanta and discuss how to take off the wounded spouse hat and put on the parenting one before talking to children. Also discussed is the WAC response (Worried, Afraid or Concerned) as a way to find out how a child feels or thinks about a situation, rather than jumping to conclusions and making it about the co-parent relationship instead of your child's needs.
