It’s hard to believe that it’s already back-to-school season! But, it seems the Halloween decorations on display at my neighborhood grocery store have somehow become the signal that once again school buses are running, homework is calling and, well,…co-parenting can get a little more complicated.
Fortunately, it’s also a sign that the second season of “Co-Parenting Matters” is starting, too! That’s right, after a wonderful summer hiatus, my co-hosts, Deesha and Mike, from CoParenting101.org, and I will be back on the internet waves talking all things co-parenting this Sunday, August 24th from 9:30pm to 11pm ET.
And, to kick things off for the new season, we’ll be talking about all of the planning and collaborating co-parents need to do to ensure a smooth back to school transition for their children. Our guest, Brooke Randolph, is an Indiana-based therapist and parenting coordinator who will share tips about keeping life organized between two households and partnering to create a great school year for your kids.
So, be sure to tune in this Sunday at 9:30pm ET via phone at (646)378-0580 or listen to our live stream.
If you need to get caught up on last season before this new one begins, check out our archived episodes!
And, if you have any back-to-school tips or questions for Brooke, drop them in the comments or email them to us at contact AT coparentingmatters DOT com.

“Co-Parenting Matters” is a live, weekly, online talk show airing Sundays at 9:30 PM EST on BlogTalkRadio. The show is a collaborative effort between WeParent.com and CoParenting101.org.
We get that everybody just ain’t able…But, tonight on Co-Parenting Matters we’ll be talking to a bio-mom/stepmom duo who consider themselves sister-friends. When they were friends in college, Omisade Burney-Scott and Jovanna Nembhard never imagined that one day Jovanna would become Stepmother to Omisade’s son. But, she did. And, these two women have forged a partnership marked by a clear focus on the well being of their children, a definition of family inclusive enough to include all of their sons and mutual respect and admiration for one another.
Join us via phone at (646)378-0580 or online to find out how and why they do it.

Sunday, May 23: Parallel Parenting: A Co-Parenting Alternative
Not all parents can manage a co-parenting relationship in which there is a true coordinated parenting partnership. But, that doesn’t mean that parents can’t still find a peaceful co-existence along the co-parenting continuum that allows their children to thrive…and keeps them out of one another’s paths. This week we’ll talk about parallel parenting with our guest, Keri Wall, founder of the blog, Off the Wall. Through her site, Keri shares the challenges, victories and insights she experiences in her own parallel parenting relationship with her son’s father. Join us for a discussion about a parenting arrangement that often works well for many parents who are better off keeping their distance from one another to minimize the impact their conflict could have on the children they love.
Sunday, May 30: Sister-Moms: When Family Blending Goes Right
This week, we’ll be talking to a bio-mom/stepmom duo who consider themselves sister-friends. When they were friends in college, Omisade Burney-Scott and Jovanna Nembhard never imagined that one day Jovanna would become Stepmother to Omisade’s son. But, she did. And, these two women have forged a partnership marked by a clear focus on the well being of their children, a definition of family inclusive enough to include all of their sons and mutual respect and admiration for one another.

We are thrilled to welcome Sheree Fletcher as our guest on the April 18th episode of “Co-Parenting Matters”, “Adventures in Co-Parenting and Whooping Ash”. In 1992, Sheree married actor Will Smith. After the dissolution of their marriage 3 years later, Sheree shifted her focus from her career to managing life as a single parent to their son. While many celebrity divorces make the news for their contentiousness, Sheree’s co-parenting relationship is publicly admired for its warmth and congeniality, even after both parties have remarried. Sheree joins us to talk about co-parenting in a high-profile situation; her transition from single parenting to remarriage; and balancing family life with her entrepreneurial pursuits.
Sheree is the Founder and CEO of Whoop Ash, a natural organic beauty care product that annihilates ash (for the uninitiated, “ash” is a colloquialism expression for dry skin). Deesha’s family has fallen in love with Whoop Ash. Her daughters keep hiding the jar from each other. She also bought some for her new hubby who had a seemingly undefeatable ash situation, but—you guessed it—it was no match for Whoop Ash.
Sheree has been kind enough to give away two jars of Whoop Ash to two lucky WeParent.com and CoParenting101.org readers. Visit both sites for two chances to win! We wanted to make the giveaway fun, and we were inspired by actress Holly Robinson Peete’s tweets about chasing her husband’s car down the street because he’d forgotten to de-ashify the kids before leaving the house! A lot of folks on Twitter could relate! (Peete is a Whoop Ash fan as well; her tweets are how our friend, Deesha, discovered the product.) So, here’s all you need to do to enter the Whoop Ash and Win Giveaway…
Leave a comment telling us an “ash” story from your childhood or one involving your own child(ren). Deadline: April 18th 5 PM EST
And that’s it! We’ll draw 2 winners at random from among the entrants and announce them on the April 18th show.
So plan to join us as we welcome Sheree to the show to discuss “Adventures in Co-Parenting…and Whooping Ash!”
Do you and your child’s other parent get along like oil and water?
Do even the simplest interactions between you result in unnecessary drama?
Do you find it difficult or impossible to co-parent peacefully with your ex?
Are YOU the difficult ex who is more committed to conflict/revenge/drama than you are to your children?
Do you want to break the cycle of excessive conflict and increase the peace between you and your co-parent?
Tune in to this week’s “Co-Parenting Matters” show (Sunday 9:30 PM EST),“Dealing with High Conflict in Your Co-Parenting Relationship”. Our guest this week will be Bill Eddy, LCSW, Esq., co-founder and president of the High Conflict Institute and author of the recently released Don’t Alienate the Kids!: Raising Resilient Children While Avoiding High Conflict Divorce and High Conflict People in Legal Disputes.
Through the Institute, Bill teaches the necessary skills for handling high conflict personalities to professionals including attorneys, psychologists and counselors and social workers. And, now, he’s sharing it with the rest of us. On Sunday’s show, we’ll discuss ways to keep your family from getting stuck in a high conflict cycle after a split and how to get out of one if you’re already there. And, we’ll talk about the challenges of partnering with a high conflict parent and effective ways of managing those relationships with our children’s best interests at the forefront.
Can’t catch the show live? Check out the podcast which will be available immediately after the show ends at 11 PM. Or draw on Bill Eddy’s expertise by posting your questions here, send them to us as info AT weparent DOT com, or tweet us @coparentingshow.
