Hey stepparents,
I know a lot of you have a school-aged child. This time of year can be chaotic with the start of a new school year, extra-curricular activities, drop-off and pick-up logistics, etc.
You also might find yourself in a position of co-parenting with your partner and possibly their ex, and maybe even with their ex’s new partner as well.
These extra cooks in the kitchen can add to the overwhelm and leave you feeling uncertain as to what your role is in supporting your beloved stepchild.
So today we’re discussing some things to keep in mind as you consider co-parenting and ensuring the best environment and supports for your stepchild. Find the show notes for this episode at synergisticstepparenting.com/54.
