The back-to-school season can feel overwhelming for any family—and even more so when you’re navigating co-parenting. In this episode, we dive into how parents can support their child’s school life while managing life between two homes.

We talk about why school routines matter and how to keep them consistent across households. You’ll hear a simple rule of thumb for when parents don’t agree on rules, and we discuss why it’s so important that both parents have access to school apps, portals, and records. We also share practical ways to approach school staff with co-parenting concerns or court orders, along with tips for communicating with your child about their school day. Finally, we reflect on the importance of thanking and recognizing the educators and school staff who play such an important role in your child’s life.

Whether you’re just starting your co-parenting journey or have been navigating it for years, this episode will give you strategies to help your child feel supported, secure, and ready to thrive in the classroom.
