The do's and don'ts of coparenting
Coparenting sessions are very tightly managed to avoid or stop further fighting, game-playing, controlling and manipulative behaviors. In this way you will be best able to accomplish your goals.
Our method for coparenting is designed to help parents raise self-disciplined, responsible, open minded, sensitive, and communicative children with good problem solving skills,
10 do's and don'ts of coparenting, Pt.1
- Avoid putting your child or children in the middle
- Avoid forcing your children to choose sides
- Show respect to the other parent, whether deserved or not
- Detach from the conflict and each other to create the optimal environment for raising children
- Create limits that can be applied in both homes to foster consistency
The do's and don'ts of coparenting, Pt.2
- Always remain open to the development of a healthy relationship with the ex-partner (after all, in the end it's about the child/children)
- Communicate honestly, openly and with an eye towards helping your child or children to also heal and develop rich relationships with both parents
- Put the past aside or at least learn to not let it rule the situation
- Coparent as a cooperative team with one goal--to work for the best interest of the child/children
- Help the child/children adjust to change in a healthy manner
