Scheduling tips that keep everyone aligned

A single source of truth

Use one shared calendar for handovers, appointments, travel, and school events. Keep the title formula consistent: Child — Activity — Location. Add notes for what to bring and who is responsible for driving.

Confirm changes where they’re proposed

If an event is suggested in a thread, confirm acceptance in that same thread. This preserves context and a clear history.

Time‑zones and holidays

When parents live in different time‑zones, always include the zone in titles (e.g., “16:00 PT”). Keep a shared list of school breaks and public holidays to avoid double‑booking.

Routines help kids

Predictable routines support children’s wellbeing. For general guidance on routines, see the American Academy of Pediatrics.
