Live Description :

Co-parenting is challenging even in the best circumstances, but when communication breaks down, emotions run high, or one parent simply won’t engage, it can feel impossible. In this eye-opening session, Child Development Specialist AJ Gajjar will unpack why “traditional” co-parenting strategies sometimes fail and what you can do to create stability, safety, and consistency for your children, even when the other parent isn’t cooperative. You’ll learn what’s developmentally most important for kids, how to reduce conflict in your home, and how to shift into a healthier, more grounded approach when co-parenting just isn’t working the way it “should.” This conversation will leave you with practical tools, emotional clarity, and a new sense of confidence about navigating a complex co-parenting dynamic.
