97. Using "Fair Play" in Co-Parenting with Frederick Van Riper

Welcome to the Other Side

Could a "card game" make dividing up parenting responsibilities with your co-parent easier?

Ever since Elise Buie in Episode #75 told me about Eve Rodsky's book "Fair Play," I've wanted to dive into how we can use this system or "card game" to divide up tasks in co-parenting.

When I met Frederick Van Riper, a coach for men & dads and a Certified Fair Play facilitator, I knew he'd be a great guest to answer all my questions.

In this episode, we dive into:

• What is the "Fair Play" system
• How can you use it if you're partnered, co-parenting, or on your own with kiddos
• Common challenges to get started
• How Frederick's relationship with his wife went from good to great after implementing Fair Play
• Why your co-parent thriving is in your best interest

Fair Play lays out all the work that goes into maintaining our household and raising kids. I'd recommend reading Fair Play to anyone who is in a partnership, hopes to be in a new relationship, or is co-parenting (no matter the temperature of your co-parenting relationship).

Even if you don't imagine sitting down with your co-parent to work through the "card game," getting clear for yourself on what is in your hand versus what is in your co-parent's can reduce stress and confusion.
