🔧 Fix this
Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:
- A guided workbook for parents to facilitate age-appropriate, neutral conversations with children about family conflict without blaming the other parent.
- A community-based mediation service specifically for families dealing with parental alienation and extended family interference.
- A digital platform connecting parents with child psychologists who specialize in repairing parent-child bonds after domestic instability.
- A family communication journal app that logs agreements and events to prevent gaslighting and memory disputes.
- A structured parenting workshop focused on setting firm boundaries with extended family members in shared living spaces.
