Children thrive on routine. A shift in the family dynamic can be difficult for children.
You and your ex may follow a consistent child custody schedule, but shuttling back and forth between two homes can be confusing for the children.
To help your children adjust between exchanges, consider the following three tips:
- Give the children a chart of the custody schedule;
- Remind the children ahead of time when an exchange will take place; and
- Remind the children when they will see you next.
