If there is only one option for the child to spend Christmas with one parent explain the reasons why. If you are both around ask the children how they would like to spend their day and the rest of their holidays and try and accommodate some of their wishes where you can.


Think about the practicalities of how


they are going to get from one loca- tion to the next. You don’t want to arrange Christmas Eve with mum and then Christmas breakfast with dad. If the child wants to have you all to themselves – is it possible for you to do something special just the two of


you for part of the day and then be with others for the rest of it. When it comes to receiving presents


get them to write down what presents they want from mum and those they want from dad with the mindset that one parent may not have the same fi nances available. The each parent will know what to buy and it will alleviate competition and possible bribery!
