What is Nesting & Could It Be the Answer For Your Family? Dr. Ann Buscho Explains this Child-Centered Approach to Co-Parenting During Divorce

A licensed clinical psychologist, Dr. Ann Buscho, joins the show to share her expertise on family issues related to divorce, parenting, parenting planning, and co-parenting counseling. So, what is nesting and how does it work? Nesting is a practice where kids remain in the family home, while parents rotate on and off duty according to a schedule that is tailored specifically to the family’s needs. This practice helps children and families navigate divorce in a way that is minimally disruptive to the children. Dr. Buscho has personally practiced nesting during her own divorce and uses that experience, along with three decades as a therapist for divorcing families, to advise and guide families through this transformative process. In addition to having her own practice in the San Francisco Bay Area, Dr. Buscho has presented at state and national conferences for attorneys, mental health professionals, and financial professionals on collaborative divorce, nesting during divorce, and consensual dispute resolution. Dr. Buscho regularly contributes to a popular divorce blog on Psychology Today, and also recently published a new book, The Parent’s Guide to Birdnesting: A Child-Centered Solution to Co-Parenting During Separation and Divorce.
