CCDG Attorney Busby: Divorced Families Can Ease Holiday Discomfort By Shifting Focus to Children
Attorney Susan Busby
“The Collaborative process can help ease discomfort around holiday gatherings by encouraging clients to put the focus on children when creating a holiday parenting plan. When the focus is on the children, then it is more likely than not that holiday traditions can be honored for the sake of the children.
The focus is then not that the parents are losing family time on a holiday but that children are being allowed to continue with holiday traditions. Parents can also be encouraged to create new holiday traditions and celebrations with the children, which can inspire fun and creative new traditions.”
