What are the benefits of co-parenting?

Children benefit from consistency.

6 tips to effective co-parenting:

1. Set hurt and anger aside,

2. Be consistent, respectful, and kind,

3. Use a website or app to communicate more effectively,

4. Have a brief, monthly "parental team meeting",

5. Accept that the co-parent is still your child's parent,

6. Make transitions and visitation easier on the kids.

It is possible to create a new relationship with your ex that focuses on and meets the needs of the child(ren).
