Parenting
Plan: oh yes, this again. If you read my book, “Zero Offseason – Divorce, Youth
Sports & Tips for the Insanely Busy Sports Mom”, you know how big
of an impact a smart parenting plan has on creating a positive environment for
youth sports scheduling.
Is your current
parenting plan working for the youth athlete as a road map for success? Or is the parenting plan being used as a
weapon against the ex? Design the summer
parenting plan to accommodate summer camps and clinics, not the other way
around. Again – easier said than done
but figure this one out well before summer.
Summer camps and practices will cut into your parenting plan time - use
the “best interest” standard for making decisions.
