For many kids the summer visitation schedule is over. It’s time to transition back to the other home.
Ron: For many kids the summer visitation schedule is over. It’s time to transition back to the other home.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: This is one of those occasions where people are a little sad about leaving, glad about arriving, and perhaps a little confused about how to manage the transition. There sure can be a lot of emotion bouncing around at first so I suggest that you give each other some space.
Parents, you may be eager to hear about your kid’s summer, but sometimes they need a little adjustment time before they are ready to talk. Let them tell you when they are ready. And both of you need a little space to get back into the household routine and prepare for school. (Ugh! School!) Okay, talk it through together, and you’ll find your way. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
