This training is designed to help childcare providers recognize and respond to the quiet, persistent ways co-parenting conflict seeps into early childhood settings. Drawing from real-world experience, research, and the Where It Lands series, this session explores how everyday logistics—like pick-up routines, family events, and communication gaps—can place providers in the middle of conflict they didn’t create.

Participants will walk away with:

• A deeper understanding of the systemic impact of parental conflict on care settings

• Tools to shift from reaction to alignment using trauma-informed strategies

• Language and mindset approaches from BeH2O® and William Ury’s Third Side philosophy

• Practical insights into how to support both parents without taking sides

This isn’t about solving every family’s conflict—it’s about protecting the child, supporting the provider, and building systems where conflict doesn’t land in the middle of your program.
