Co-Parenting Successfully After Separation
Co-parenting after separation is one of the hardest things any parent will ever do. But it is also one of the most important. Put your children needs first, always, even when it is difficult, even when you are angry, even when it feels unfair. Communicate with your co-parent about schedules, rules, and important decisions. Use email or co-parenting apps if face-to-face conversations are too contentious. Maintain as much consistency as possible between both households in terms of routines, expectations, and discipline. Never speak negatively about the other parent in front of your children. Whatever your feelings about your ex, to your children they are still Mom or Dad and hearing them criticized is deeply painful. Seek professional help when communication breaks down. A mediator or family therapist can be worth their weight in gold. Remember that successful co-parenting is not about being friends with your ex. It is about being effective partners in the most important project of your lives: raising healthy, happy children.
