Navigating Childhood Amidst High-Conflict Parenting & Divorce

Been There Got Out Podcast

Unlock the secrets to fostering resilience in children amid high-conflict parenting and divorce with relationship coach Raquel Reis, who joins us to share her expert insights and personal experiences. We understand that the chaos of family strife isn't always a commotion; sometimes it can be a silent storm, and in today's conversation, we illuminate the diverse manifestations of such environments. You'll learn about the precocious maturity and emotional intelligence that children, like myself, develop as a coping mechanism and how these traits can mask long-term effects.
Navigating the paradoxical waters of a home where achievement masks discord, we tackle the coping strategies children adopt, from hyper-vigilance to substance abuse, and offer practical advice for parents embroiled in similar situations. Together, we dissect the importance of establishing consistency and routine, illustrating through personal narratives just how essential these elements are for anchoring a child's sense of security. Find out how the daily rituals you establish, like a simple morning walk, can act as beacons of stability for your children.
Wrapping up, our discussion turns toward the family court system and its focus on preserving stability and routine in child custody arrangements. We emphasize the profound impact a supportive adult can have during these formative years and share strategies for parents to acknowledge their children's feelings without overburdening them with adult issues. Join us for an episode that promises not just understanding but also actionable steps for parents seeking harmony and resilience for their children during a time that challenges their very foundation.
