#CoParenting #HolidayStress #DivorcedFamilies #BlendedFamilyChristmas – Key Takeaways Holiday stress multiplies for split families – money, gifts, and juggling two households can feel overwhelming for everyone involved. “Two Christmases” isn’t automatically a perk for teens – many see it as confusing, lonely, or a sign their family isn’t whole. Never unload your adult stress on the kids – regardless of age, children should not be your therapist or emotional vent. Start conversations with empathy – ask open‑ended questions like, “How are you feeling about Christmas?” or “Is anything worrying you that I can help with?” Anticipate hidden anxieties – teens may worry about: Gift‑budget comparisons (e.g., “I bought a better present for dad than for mom”). One parent being alone on Christmas Eve. Not waking up in their own bed or facing blended‑family dynamics. Model self‑care without guilt – share your own solo plans (movie night, walk, etc.) so teens don’t feel responsible for your feelings. Co‑create new traditions – let teens help design a special “parent‑only” or blended‑family activity that feels theirs. Use flexible scheduling – set up a group chat poll to find a date that works for everyone; the celebration doesn’t have to be on December 25. Give teens decision‑making power – when they pick the time, place, or format, resentment drops dramatically and they feel respected. Read teen “acting out” as communication – misbehavior often signals a loyalty tug‑of‑war between households; pause, breathe, and ask what they need. Remember the weight they carry – even older teens feel the emotional load of split holidays; acknowledging this validates their experience. End with a positive mindset – celebrate small wins, thank yourself for trying, and remind teens (and yourself) that the effort is seen and appreciated. Connect with Cheryl!

#RuleOf72, #CompoundInterest, #EarlySaving, #CollegeSavings, 📄 Bullet‑Point Show Notes (Takeaways) Why Scott Yamamura does this work – turned personal intimidation about money into confidence; now helps everyday earners simplify finance. Money scripts are powerful – family “under‑cover” messages (e.g., “money is like underwear”) shape kids’ future habits. Financial Epiphany #1 – The Rule of 72 Divide 72 by an average 7.2 % return → 10 years to double money. Use this as a mental ruler for all financial decisions (college, retirement, savings). Financial Epiphany #2 – Your Multiplying Power Your 20‑year “athlete window” (early 20s) is the most potent time to grow wealth. Even small, consistent contributions compound dramatically over a career. Financial Epiphany #3 – Power‑Halving Curve Multiplying ability halves every decade (16 → 8 → 4 → 2 → 1). Creates urgency: act now before the curve drops. The “Day of Reckoning” – Mid‑life financial pressure (retirement, caring for aging parents) hits when you haven’t saved enough; the three rules help avoid this crisis. Start teaching teens early Open a custodial account (Charles Schwab, Fidelity, Vanguard). Let kids pick 1‑3 stocks they know (Amazon, Netflix, Disney, etc.) and watch real‑world results. Use a spend‑save‑give jar (e.g., 10 % give, 20 % save, 70 % spend) to build habits. You don’t need a big bankroll – $50‑$100 can launch a lifelong investing habit; start with a low‑cost S&P 500 index fund (Warren Buffett’s favorite). Investing isn’t gambling – It’s a vote of confidence in the economy and innovation; it multiplies who you already are.

Free Parent Advocacy Call – 30‑minute clarity session (no sales pitch). 👉 Book your spot: https://tidycal.com/cherylpankhurst/consultation-chat Key Takeaways – “Welcome to Friday (WTF) – End‑of‑Semester Panic Episode” It’s not a discipline or laziness issue – the root cause is executive‑functioning, communication overload, and overwhelm, especially for neuro‑divergent or highly‑sensitive teens. Accommodations are a right, not a favor – teens may refuse them to avoid stigma or because they fear looking “different”; the need for support is mandatory, not optional. Shift from “advocating for your teen” to “advocating with your teen.” CC them on emails, seat them at parent‑teacher meetings, and teach them to ask for what they need. Regulate yourself first – never reply to a panic‑inducing email within the first 10 minutes; pause, breathe, and reset your nervous system before engaging. Start the conversation with open‑ended questions. Ask “What’s been happening from your side?” rather than a simple yes/no; this keeps the dialogue alive and prevents shut‑downs. Create a structured communication plan with the school. Weekly check‑ins, pre‑test alerts, clear expectations for response times. Re‑activate accommodations together. Review the IEP/504 plan with your teen, discuss why each accommodation is needed, and practice self‑advocacy. Diagnose the specific breakdown – ask: Is the problem starting the task, staying on task, organizing, or understanding the material? Tailor solutions (e.g., break tasks into steps, provide reminders, offer extra time). The parent’s role is a lighthouse, not a lawyer. Provide structure, keep all voices heard, and avoid “fire‑fighting” with angry emails or calls. Free 30‑minute Parent Advocacy Clarity Call is offered to pinpoint the exact breakdown and give a concrete next step—no sales pitch, just actionable support. Connect with Cheryl!
