The challenges of co-parenting
Going from raising your children under one roof to two homes can be challenging, particularly in the beginning. You and the other parent may have disagreements about your new parenting route.
Below are three common challenges you may face:
Communication issues
Before going through a divorce, you and your ex-spouse may have had few fights regarding communication about child-related matters. But this may change when you are co-parenting. Since you no longer see each other at home, you may find yourselves making decisions without each other’s input or may forget to update each other on serious matters. Accordingly, conflicts may arise.
Having a communication schedule can help solve this issue. For example, you and your co-parent may set aside a particular evening to meet or communicate via phone, text or email. It may also help to set reminders if you need to update them on anything.
Technology can also help you attain effective communication, as some shared platforms will allow you to set reminders for appointments and send texts.
