Co-parenting after your divorce can be very difficult. In this article, we continue our list of eight suggestions for successful co-parenting.
- Learn how to handle conflict and disagreements. Inevitably, you and your co-parenting partner are going to disagree. That’s generally not the problem. What can be a problem is how you handle conflict and disagreements. Consider improving your communication and listening skills as well as learning how to apologize and finding middle ground. Experts advise that not having to win all the time will benefit your children.
- Manage your perceptions. If you think you’re a victim, then you’ll be a victim. Contemplate perceiving your divorce as a life lesson and learn from it. Also, think about accepting responsibility for the role you played in the dissolution of your marriage. In doing so, you’ll probably be a better and happier co-parent.
Part three of this series will be released next week.
