In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Hannah Strong — a coach, therapist, and separated mother of two — who specialises in helping parents support their children through the challenges of divorce and beyond. Drawing from her psychological expertise, the science of child brain development, and her own lived experience, Hannah has created a unique framework for guiding parents through the ups and downs of raising children across two homes. We’re diving into a particularly tough situation: how to support your child when the other parent isn’t willing to co-parent effectively.
Together, we explore:
• The biggest challenges children face when one parent refuses to collaborate.
• How to emotionally support your child when the other parent is dismissive of their needs.
• Strategies for maintaining stability when the other parent is unreliable or inconsistent.
• How to handle negative comments or alienating behaviour without dragging your child into conflict.
• What to do when your child expresses frustration, confusion, or loyalty conflicts.
• Practical tools to help children build resilience and feel secure, even when stuck in the middle.
If you’re feeling alone or unsure how to best support your child in a difficult co-parenting situation, this conversation is here to offer hope, clarity, and real-world advice.
