About this listen

In this episode, I open up about the emotional and practical realities of long-distance fatherhood and co-parenting after separation. I share lessons from Halloween traditions and holiday rituals, the challenges of discipline with a sensitive three-year-old, and how those lessons carry over into parenting my twelve-year-old who lives overseas. With insight from a top UK family lawyer on the Hague Convention and advice from psychologists Sean Larsen and Todd Kettner, I explore how to focus on your child’s wellbeing, manage emotions, and nurture connection across borders.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

Understanding the Hague Convention and international parenting rights

How to keep your child at the centre during legal or co-parenting conflict

Simple rituals and creative ways to stay connected through holidays

Balancing firmness and sensitivity in discipline near and far

The value of quiet presence and emotional steadiness with older kids
