Bonus Coaching Session: My Child Stopped Fighting Parenting Time. Should I Be Relieved?

Your child stopped fighting parenting time… but something still feels off. In this FCC episode, we unpack what may be happening when a young child goes from visible distress to emotional shutdown during transitions, how to think about attachment and regulation, and ways to support reconnection while avoiding assumptions or panic. From a child mental health perspective, what could be happening when a child goes from intense distress at transitions to seeming quiet or shut down?Is my ex right that this means things are getting better because she isn’t kicking and screaming anymore?How do you tell the difference between adjustment, developmental changes, and a child protecting themselves emotionally?How can I support my daughter before and after transitions without making things harder for her?Are there signs I should watch for that suggest she may need more support, even if exchanges look “easier” on the surface?Want to have your questions featured on a Friday Coaching Corner?
