When does co-parenting work effectively?
Co-parenting in a positive way means that you as parents maintain a shared focus on the child’s well-being and talk to and about each other in a respectful tone in front of your child. Co-parenting requires empathy, patience and open communication for success. Rules should be consistent and agreed upon at both households. Agree on boundaries and behavioural guidelines for raising the children so that there's consistency in their lives, regardless of which parent they're with at any given time. In co-parenting arrangements, both parents choose to put aside their personal differences to develop and implement a Parenting Plan that they feel is in the best interest of their child’s development. Healthy co-parenting usually requires ongoing communication, troubleshooting, and mutual responsibility, so it can prove challenging to implement following the dissolution of a relationship.
