No parent wants to end their marriage or relationship, but it happens. A lot. About 40% of marriages with children end in divorce. So it’s likely that you or someone you know and love will have to co-parent through this challenging time. What’s the best way to handle the situation for our kids? And how do we find the strength to find that higher ground? My guest this week is blogging pioneer Melinda Roberts, author of 42 Rules for Divorcing With Children. She’s a child of divorce, has herself been through two divorces, and is now successfully raising children in a re-married blended household. She’s been there and, during our interview, she shares her hard earned knowledge. Even if you are not facing the challenge of separation or divorce, there’s some great parenting tips in this episode that you won’t want to miss.

For those of you who want to share your own tips or seek advice for parenting after divorce, let’s continue the conversation on my blog at PlaydatePlanet.com.
