Feeling like the only parent trying to enforce rules while your co-parent plays it loose with curfews, screen time, or even vaping? The holidays make it worse — but there's a better way.

When co-parenting dynamics clash, especially during the high-stress holiday season, many single parents feel like they’re swimming upstream. If you're the one holding the line while your co-parent is more relaxed (or even oppositional), you're not alone — and you don’t have to parent from a place of frustration or fear. There’s a clear, calm, and research-backed way forward.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to stay emotionally steady even when the other house has completely different rules
• What to say to your tween/teen to keep connection strong without pulling them into the middle
• A holiday script that prevents arguments, avoids triangulation, and protects your child’s emotional health

Press play to discover how you can hold loving boundaries with calm confidence — and give your tween the emotional safety they truly need this holiday season.
