Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is keep showing up.

Not because everything is easy.
Not because every answer is clear.

But because each small step forward matters.

In some situations, yes.

Grandparents may be able to apply for contact or parenting time if it is in the child's best interests. Every family's circumstances are different, and the process depends on the province and the specific situation.

As summer comes to an end, it's a good time to revisit your parenting schedule.

School routines often require adjustments to transportation, extracurricular activities, and communication. Reviewing expectations before the school year begins can help reduce stress for both parents and children.

A little preparation today can make the transition much smoother.

Stability doesn't mean life is free from change. It means creating a foundation that helps you and your family move through change with confidence.

Whether it's establishing routines, improving communication, or creating clear agreements, small, consistent actions can provide a sense of security during times of transition.

As summer winds down and new routines begin, stability can be one of the greatest gifts you give yourself and your family.

What does stability look like for you this month?

A parenting plan is much more than paperwork. It helps set clear expectations for how children move between homes, how holidays and special occasions are shared, and how important decisions are made.
When those details are vague or left open to interpretation, misunderstandings and conflict can happen quickly. A well-thought-out parenting plan creates clarity, consistency, and stability, helping children feel secure while giving parents a framework to move forward with confidence.

Difficult situations rarely resolve themselves by being avoided. Taking thoughtful steps forward, even when they feel challenging, is often what creates progress.

Parenting plans are not meant to stay exactly the same forever.

As children grow, schedules change, activities increase, and family circumstances evolve. If you're experiencing frequent scheduling conflicts, disagreements about responsibilities, or finding that your current arrangement no longer fits your family's needs, it may be time to revisit your parenting plan.

A good parenting plan should grow with your family and continue to support stability for everyone involved.

Have your family's needs changed since your parenting plan was created?

Many people focus on the outcome of a difficult conversation.

Instead, focus on the goal.

Whether you are discussing schedules, finances, or parenting decisions, keeping the conversation centred on finding solutions can help move things forward more effectively.

This depends on your situation.

In most cases, you will need to either notify the other parent or get their permission before moving.

A “change of residence” usually requires notice if it does not impact parenting time. A “relocation” that affects the schedule is subject to stricter requirements, including formal notice and documentation.

The rules differ depending on whether you fall under federal or provincial legislation, and whether you live in Alberta or Saskatchewan.
