A Few Hacks You'll Actually Use
-The Role Reminder
Before exchanges, mentally remind yourself: "I'm here as a parent, not as a former partner." This simple shift helps create emotional boundaries before the interaction even begins.
-One Calendar, One Source of Truth
Choose a shared calendar and treat it as the official version of events. Fewer misunderstandings. Fewer forgotten appointments. Less mental load.

Tell your child clearly and often that it's okay to love both parents. Children should never feel like they need to choose sides.
