So proud of my friends and colleagues Danielle and Jennifer for their work on this important bill. Please call your state legislators and ask them to move this forward!

A proposed bill in Massachusetts would allow documents to be notarized remotely, according to the National Notary Association.

Remember when your children look back on holidays and special events, it's not the date on the calendar they'll think about. It will the memories you created.

I have not yet read this book but am excited to - all of the info that comes out of the High Conflict Institute is excellent. I know many of my clients could benefit from this book and the strategies it promised to offer!

Great article on communicating with your teen - I wish I had had this before my daughter started middle school! Bonus: most of the principles here can also apply to conversations with others - like our spouse or friends ... particularly the part about just listening and empathizing, rather than offering an opinion.

Start by checking your baggage, and your judgment, at the door.

Love this infographic! I talk about apology a lot my in mediations - being heard and offered a true apology, not a sh$&ty one, can be incredibly powerful.

Hallmarks of a 💩 apology include: defensiveness, victim blaming, gaslighting, mockery, and / or passive insincerity. Have you ever received an “apology” that wasn’t really an apology?

I recommend coparenting apps to even my most amicable clients - I think it’s helpful to have all relevant information and communication in one central place. Some tech-savvy parents accomplish this using a google doc and share folder, but it’s convenient to have a prebuilt platform.

Never forget a pick-up, drop-off, doctor’s appointment, or playdate, while cutting down on unnecessary scheduling (and emotional) conflicts.
