It can be difficult for your child to move from your home to your ex’s. The transfer process on its own can be awkward and this can be felt from the children.
If the transfer from home to home ends up being more stressful than it needs to be, there are some things you can do to reduce the tension. First, try to keep this transfer short and sweet, even if your child attempts to stall. During this short meet-up, make sure to be peaceful with your ex-spouse. A simple “hello” and “goodbye” is a good idea, even if this kindness is not returned. As hard as it might be, you may want to avoid getting into discussions during the transfer. If it is initiated, you can always suggest that you talk about it at another time. You may also want to avoid arguing, as to not upset your children. Even though you are keeping discussion light, the silent treatment should also be avoided. Overall, any drama of any kind may upset your child.
