If you’re raising kids in the age of smartphones and social media, Smartphone Nation by Kaitlyn Regehr is a must-read 📚📱

It offers a thoughtful look at how constant connectivity is shaping how kids think, feel, and interact with the world.

And this isn’t just for two-home families—but for divorced or separated parents, the stakes are even higher.

Different rules. Different comfort levels. Different understanding of tech.
One parent says yes to the device, the other says no.
One uses it for “safety,” the other feels surveilled.

These gaps don’t just create tension between parents—they can divide kids.
If you want to reduce conflict (and avoid bigger issues down the road), alignment is key.

Understand the digital world.
Create a shared plan.
Set common expectations.
Need help getting there? Dear Co-Parent can help you build that plan.
In the meantime, start with this book.

April Fools’ Day hits a little different in the co-parenting world 😏

Because sometimes… the joke writes itself.

“Your ex says, ‘I’ve done some self-reflection.’
Your response in 3 words or less:”

👇 Drop it below. Be honest… we can take it.

Planning ahead is a must. Making long Seders and big family meals is a flex. Here are some major finds to make you Seder more meaningful, less stressful and fun!

Dear Coparent few ways to make your Passover more meaningful—and a lot less stressful:

✨ Use a therapeutic Haggadah that speaks to attachment styles (sharing one I love for inspiration)
✨ Try pre-made, disposable seder plates—yes, really….and have one already pre loaded for everyone which saves space e on the table! ✨ Order in instead of overextending yourself. Amazon for the plates. ( is my go to in LA

Let friends contribute (they usually want to!)
✨ Get the kids involved by finding the best candy plague hack from

Less pressure, more presence. That’s the goal. 🕊️

Brené Brown nailed it, I mean doesn’t she always? Always get inspired by what she has to say.

So listen up!
“Who we are and how we engage with the world are much stronger predictors of how our children will do than what we know about parenting.”
Translation: it’s not about how many parenting books you’ve read.
It’s about how you show up.
Kids don’t follow advice.
They follow examples.

When headlines hit, it’s easy to get pulled into judgment, accusation, and conviction.
The Tiger Woods story is a reminder of something we see every day in our work: there is always more beneath the surface than the accusation.

At Dear Co-Parent, we approach conflict differently. Not by ignoring harm—but by looking deeper. By asking:
What’s driving the behavior?
What’s unresolved?
What needs to be understood before it can be changed?

This is the empathetic therapist lens—one that doesn’t excuse actions, but seeks context so real accountability and growth can happen.

Because when families stay stuck in blame, nothing moves forward. But when we shift to understanding, we create space for better decisions, healthier co-parenting, and lasting change.
(As a side note, never refuse a chemical test, because the lawyer in me needs to let you know that refusing to take a chemical test can be used to show CONSCIOUSNESS OF GUILT.)

“My child’s favorite _______ is ______ and I secretly can’t stand it.”

Every parent has one or five. This is a judgment free zone. Let’s normalize the parenting fails!!!
I will admit it. I rooted against my daughter’s team when it was the soccer playoffs right before Thanksgiving.
The thought of another long weekend at a godforsaken motel, in the freezing cold, waking up at 5am was too much. So as she played her heart out, I secretly hoped the tournament would end right there.
Your turn. Fill in the blank.

Before you file for divorce… know your numbers or at least where to get them.

Start downloading those statements now. Get your tax returns, credit cards, retirement accounts info ready. You will need to know your assets and your debts.

My great friend and colleague SEMBK’s Carolyn Martino always says this is the first step — get your financial information in order before anything else. Collect your stuff early and often.
Secondarily and just just as important, build the right team around you. The right guidance can make all the difference in how this process plays out. Local attorneys can make a big difference.

I love a good find, especially a comfy, cozy one. You may have heard of it but have you purchased it? If not, give yourself a treat and do it now!

So soft, cozy, with just the right weight. It's machine washable and makes for a great way to feel pampered, even if you are all by yourself. Not necessarily a new find, but it’s a darn good one.

Are you part of the sandwich generation? And I am not talking about roast beef and turkey!
Raising kids while also caring for aging parents… it’s not just a lot—it can feel overwhelming, isolating, and nonstop.
And without a plan, the stress doesn’t just build… it spills over into everything—your parenting, your co-parenting, your peace.
Don't eat sandwiches alone. Get back up from your co-parent, to your friends, and your support system.
Divide responsibilities intentionally.
Ask for support—before you’re burned out.

Dr. Laura Markham said it perfectly:
“The way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice.”
You are the living recorder that lives in their minds. Consciously and unconsciously.
The way you correct them.
They way you validate their feelings.
The way you encourage them.
The way you speak when you’re frustrated.
The way you speak about them to others.
Long after childhood, your voice is still in their head.
So choose your words intentionally — one day they’ll be the words your child says to themselves.
