Planning a Successful Summer for your Child

Are you ready for the summer? Have you and your spouse planned the visitation weekends and communicated to the various other families?

It can become very complicated if you have remarried, and your new spouse's ex has remarried, and your ex-spouse has remarried...did you follow all that? You will be communicating with a possible total of 5 families!

Tips for a successful summer:
-plan ahead
-communicate clearly your expectations
-be flexible and willing to change a couple of weekends to accomodate the majority
-don't take changes personally

Remember- you are doing what's best for the kids to have an organized summer, and one that your children can spend time with both parents.
