Co-Parenting When You Are the Only One Doing the Work
Co-parenting can feel exhausting when you’re the one trying to communicate, compromise, and keep your child’s needs at the center.
In this practical, child-centered workshop, Kate Alcamo and Dr. Hallie Strauss will help you navigate co-parenting challenges with more clarity and confidence—even when your co-parent isn’t on the same page.
Bring one co-parenting dilemma you’re facing. It might be a request to change the schedule, a joint event you’re unsure how to handle, or different expectations between your children’s two homes.
Together, we’ll explore how to:
Recognize what your child needs in the situation
Understand what might be influencing your own reaction
Identify what’s within your control—and what isn’t
Set boundaries while keeping your child’s needs at the center
Decide on a practical next step and communicate it clearly
Move forward without getting pulled into unproductive conflict
You can’t control your co-parent’s choices. But you can feel clearer and more confident about your own.
Walk away with one decision made—or a specific next step identified—and language to communicate it if needed.
Live Workshop:
Divorce changes a child’s family, but it doesn’t have to define their childhood.
In this practical, child-centered workshop, Kate Alcamo and Dr. Hallie Strauss will help parents understand what children actually need to feel safe, secure, and supported as their family changes.
You’ll learn how to:
Understand how children experience divorce at different ages and stages
Recognize the behaviors and emotional responses that may signal your child is struggling
Talk to your child about divorce without sharing adult-sized information
Give your child a voice without putting them in the position of having to choose
Reduce loyalty conflicts and help your child feel free to love both parents
Make parenting and co-parenting decisions based on your child’s needs—not just what feels “fair” to the adults
Build the connection, coping skills, and sense of security that help children become more resilient over time
The goal isn’t to give your child a perfect divorce. It’s to give them what they need to feel safe, loved, and
supported through it.
Walk away with practical tools and a clearer understanding of how to protect what matters most: your child’s well-being.
