Co-Parenting Tips for Divorced Parents
One of the most important divorce decisions that need to be agreed upon is how you and your partner will work together to co-parent the children in your family.
It is essential to your family’s success to put your children at the forefront of your divorce and develop co-parenting guidelines that will be amicable and create a positive divorce experience for your children.
To make this happen, our mental health and child life specialist often suggest these tips:
- Do not disparage your ex to your children
- Having a child take sides is detrimental to their emotional wellbeing
- Create visitation schedules during your divorce process – include holidays, school breaks and vacation times
- Learn to give and take – What is important to you about parenting your children?
- Build trust with your children, get them to share their concerns with you
- Create a consistent schedule for everyday tasks
- Demonstrate that you love them daily – even when they aren’t reciprocating love back to you
- Positive behavior management is often more effective than punitive methods
- Work with your ex when issues or concerns arise – show a united front
Utilizing these tips is critical to your children’s emotional health before, during and after your divorce is finalized. When the collaborative divorce process is utilized, couples are provided with a team of experts who work together, along with you and your spouse, to consider how your divorce will affect your children and work towards an agreeable co-parenting plan for both of you.
