Co-Parenting Strategies for Healthy Communication
In this episode, Gwendolyn J. Sterk sits down with Kris Anderson, a licensed clinical social worker and life coach, to unpack practical strategies for co-parenting with less conflict and more intention. Together, they explore how to shift the focus from your ex to your children, creating a child-centered approach that models healthy communication and problem-solving.
Kris shares tips for “fighting fair,” setting boundaries, and utilizing technology tools like co-parenting apps to maintain clear and neutral communication. Gwendolyn emphasizes the value of treating co-parenting conversations like business meetings, knowing when to step away, and avoiding negative talk in front of children.
Listeners will walk away with actionable steps: from celebrating small wins to creating personal mantras, that can transform tense interactions into opportunities for growth. This conversation is about building peace after pain and showing kids what respect, resilience, and love can truly look like.
