What Parents Get Wrong About Co-Parenting Discussions

One of the greatest fears parents face during divorce is the thought of no longer being part of every moment of their children's lives. Too often, that fear drives parenting discussions in ways that increase conflict instead of creating stability.

In this episode of The Restorative Divorce Podcast, Erin Birt explores the common mistakes parents make during co-parenting conversations and explains why a parenting plan is about much more than dividing time—it's about designing your child's childhood.

Drawing from more than 20 years of experience as a family law attorney and mediator, along with the principles of The Kitchen Table Divorce®, Erin shares practical strategies for approaching parenting discussions with greater clarity, cooperation, and long-term perspective.

Whether you're considering divorce, working through mediation, or already co-parenting, this episode will help you focus less on winning time and more on creating the kind of childhood your children will remember with security, stability, and love.
