    ·        Why co-parents should discuss what gifts they plan to buy for their children. 

    ·        Helping your kids shop for a present for their other parent.

    ·        Holidays and supporting your child’s relationship with their other parent.

    ·        Don’t try to one-up the other with who has the better holiday planned with the kids. 

    ·        Be Flexible, the holidays are never perfect, and something may go awry. 

    ·        If your child is not going to be with you on the holiday, all is not lost.
