Let the child make the request
In situations where one parent is struggling to get the other more involved in the child’s life, Craig recommends having the kid speak to that parent – rather than the custodial parent. “Then it isn’t you nagging,” says Craig. “Have the child express that themselves, if they’re old enough.” She also advises parents that, the parent who will be letting the child down should be the one to break that news. Otherwise, the parent who does show up and delivers the bad news can feel like “My ex is the hero and I take the impact when something happens.”
