Your child stopped fighting parenting time… but something still feels off. In this FCC episode, we unpack what may be happening when a young child goes from visible distress to emotional shutdown during transitions, how to think about attachment and regulation, and ways to support reconnection while avoiding assumptions or panic. 

  • From a child mental health perspective, what could be happening when a child goes from intense distress at transitions to seeming quiet or shut down?
  • Is my ex right that this means things are getting better because she isn’t kicking and screaming anymore?
  • How do you tell the difference between adjustment, developmental changes, and a child protecting themselves emotionally?
  • How can I support my daughter before and after transitions without making things harder for her?
  • Are there signs I should watch for that suggest she may need more support, even if exchanges look “easier” on the surface?
