Suggestions on how to help counsel a 10yo where you suspect parent alienation? How do you approach the parent you suspect may be sharing hurtful information about the other parent or suggesting the child ignore the parent?

Kendall,
No excuses, here — for some reason my reply didn’t show and I’ve been kindly prompted to reach out.
Simply put, rather than either/or and, if I may, polarized statements about a parent/caregiver — peer through the lens of a continuum. At times, it’s not about presence or absence at all — it’s about critical appraisal. In other words, as much data as possible [and the limitations of said data].
