Her Side of the Handover

The moments either side of a handover are easier when her things are already in both homes, the goodbye is predictable, and nobody asks questions the minute she walks in.

A two-minute read, three things to try, for ages 5 to 13.

Where to start

  • Keep what she needs at both homes, so she packs only what matters to her.

The rest of the tip, with more to try and why it works, is in the library.

It goes with

  • When Parents Separate. For parents in the middle of a separation who are watching closely to see how their child is coping.

The first chapter you open here is free to read in full.
