You can make transitions between co-parent households easier for your children. Realizing that they are struggling to adjust is the first step in finding ways to make transition days easier for them.

The main thing you can do for your children as you follow the parenting plan is to find a few ways to help them adjust on their own time and terms. This can include an activity you do before going home or just giving them the space and understanding they need to adjust. When you lower your expectations for their first few hours or day with you they can relax and fit back into your home in a gentler way.
