Podcast Episode 231: Successful Co-Parenting Strategies for Secure Kids with Aurisha Smolarski, MA LMFT

Co-parenting is a journey filled with highs and lows, and in the midst of it all, the well-being of your children takes center stage. So, how can you successfully co-parent and ensure your kids grow up feeling secure and loved?

While it’s natural to have differences, maintaining a respectful and amicable relationship is crucial for the emotional well-being of your children. Kids thrive in an environment where they see and feel cooperation between their parents.

In my own co-parenting journey, I’ve learned that setting aside differences and focusing on the common goal – the happiness of our kids – creates a better, more nurturing atmosphere…for everyone. But sometimes, that’s a lot easier said than it can be done.

Aurisha Smolarski is a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in working with couples, co-parents, and individuals. She is also a co-parenting coach and mediator. And if that wasn’t enough, she’s also the author of the new book, Cooperative Co-Parenting for Secure Kids: The Attachment Theory Guide to Raising Kids in Two Homes and a co-parenting herself. This is a refreshing look into the communication dynamics necessary for a positive co-parenting relationship. If you’re at the start of your co-parenting journey or a seasoned vet, this is a valuable listen for everyone.

In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast you’ll learn:

  • The importance of a positive relationship between co-parents for the success of the child(ren)
  • Successful communication strategies for co-parents to implement into their relationship
  • The role attachment type plays in the relationship and communication dynamics of everyone in the family
  • How to avoid feeling like you have to do it all as a Mom and let co-parenting partners share the load

You Can Stop Rewarding Kids for Chores

You Can Stop Rewarding Kids for Chores

I’m not picking up my toys for forty-five cents.

Even though it was close to 25 years ago, I remember that chore chart affixed with Disney magnets to our white fridge.

My dad had broken apart every chore in our home, assigned it a monetary value and created this perfectly organized chart.

If I did every chore on it, I would earn $2 a week.

That amount seems small now, but at the time, my 10-year-old self was pretty stoked.

So I scanned the list and decided to start with dishes. I quickly scrubbed the plates, bowls and silverware and placed them in the drying rack. It took me 20 minutes.

Yes! I went back to the list and check it off. Fifty-cents.

Already…I was done with this.

Time for a break.

Fast-forward a week later and that was the only box I completed on the ENTIRE chart.

Just sit back and watch your kids play. Or.. jump in and join the fun!
