Your Kids Deserve a Parent
Who Came Prepared.
Introducing The Game Day Co-Parenting Playbook, the clinically informed, no-judgment guide
that gives co-parents the scripts, strategies, and self-care tools to show up fully for their
children. On game day, at pickup, at the school play, and every moment in between.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
You love your kids deeply. But co-parenting is
exhausting and nobody handed you a manual.
You’ve done the hard work of separation. You’ve shown up for your kids through every transition, every schedule change, every uncomfortable conversation. But there are still moments.
The Saturday game where you’re both in the bleachers and you don’t know where to sit. The school event where tension is already in the air before you even walk through the door. The simple pickup that turns into a 20-minute standoff your child didn’t need to witness.
You’re not failing. You’re navigating something genuinely hard without the tools to do it differently.
"That changes today."
The resource I’ve been handing families in session, now available to everyone.
After years of sitting across from co-parents in mediation rooms, in therapy sessions, in courtrooms, I kept seeing the same gap. Parents who genuinely wanted to do better but didn’t have a concrete, practical system for the moments that mattered most.
So I built one.
The Game Day Co-Parenting Playbook is a clinically informed guide written by a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Florida Supreme Court Certified Mediator, and Certified Parenting Coordinator. It is grounded in real therapeutic frameworks nervous system regulation, de-escalation strategy, structured communication and written in language that is accessible,
direct, and immediately usable.
This is not a workbook that collects dust. This is the guide you open before a hard day and carrywith you through the season.
WHAT’S INSIDE THE PLAYBOOK
Seven sections. Real tools. Zero fluff.
1
Season Setup Guide
Three non-negotiable agreements to make with your co-parent before the first game, the first practice, or the first school event so conflict doesn’t catch you off guard when it matters most.
Most co-parenting conflict doesn’t start at the event. It starts days earlier. This section closes that gap.
2
Copy-and-Send Communication Scripts
Eight ready-to-use, copy-paste scripts for every awkward logistics conversation schedule changes, cost splits, attendance plans, pickup adjustments, and more. Neutral. Businesslike.
Designed to remove the emotional charge from routine logistics. Copy, adjust the name, send.Done.
3
Sideline Etiquette Guide
A clear Do/Don’t framework for navigating shared spaces with your co-parent what keeps the focus on your child and what quietly pulls it away from them. Because your child isn’t just watching the game. They are watching you.
4
Real-Time De-Escalation Toolkit
Three techniques the Three-Breath Pause, the Broken Record Method, and the Graceful Exit that you can use in the moment, without the other parent’s cooperation, without escalating, and without your child watching it unfold. These are the same tools used in clinical co-parenting sessions.
5
Fillable Game Day Plan Worksheet
A one-page logistics tool to fill out before any shared event game day, school play, graduation, whatever the moment is.
No more surprises in the parking lot. No last-minute disagreements about seating. No child caught in the middle of adult confusion.
6
Self-Care Reset for the Handoff Parent
Because you matter in this equation too. A clinical framework for regulating your nervous system before and after high-stakes co parenting moments grounded in nervous system science and designed specifically for the parent who holds it together so their child doesn’t have to.
7
Self-Care Reflection Worksheet
A fillable journaling tool for processing hard days, naming what went well, and preparing intentionally for the next one.
Private. No right answers. Just yours.
This playbook is written for you if...
✓ You and your co-parent attend the same events and it never quite goes smoothly.
✓ Your child has witnessed tension between you and their other parent and you’re determined to change that.
✓ You’re newly separated and terrified of the first game, the first holiday, the first anything.
✓ You’re years into co-parenting and still haven’t found a system that works.
✓ You want to communicate better but freeze when you don’t know what to say.
✓ You’re exhausted from being “on” at every shared event and have nothing left for yourself after.
✓ You’re working with a therapist, parenting coordinator, or mediator and want a sharedreference point.
If you read even one of those and felt it this is yours.

Everything you need to know before you buy.
1 / Is this just for sports season?
Not at all. The “Game Day” title captures the energy but every tool in this guide applies to any shared space, any shared event, and any co-parenting moment where both parents are present or in communication. School events, holidays, pickups, schedule negotiations, graduations, this guide works for all of it.
2 / Do I need my co-parent to participate?
No. This guide was intentionally designed so that one parent can use it independently. The de- escalation techniques, communication scripts, and self-care tools all work without your co- parent’s cooperation or buy-in. That said, many families use it together as a shared reference point, especially when working with a parenting coordinator or mediator.
3 / I’ve been co-parenting for years. Is this still relevant for me?
Absolutely. Whether you’re two months post-separation or ten years into the co-parenting journey, conflict can still surface especially around milestone events, new partners, schedule changes, or seasons when shared time increases. This guide gives you a reset you can return to any time the dynamic shifts.
4 / What format does this come in?
The playbook is a PDF digital download delivered instantly via Gumroad after purchase. You can read it on any device, print it for personal use, or share it with a therapist or parenting coordinator as a session reference.
5 / Is this therapy or a substitute for professional support?
This guide is an educational resource, not a substitute for clinical therapy, legal advice, or individualized parenting coordination. It is written by a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and grounded in evidence-based frameworks, but it is designed to be used alongside professional support, not instead of it. If you’re navigating a high-conflict custody situation or a formal legal process, please consult your attorney or parenting coordinator in addition to using this guide.
