Co-Parenting

Good parenting requires showing up as your best, most adult self (at least most of the time!). Divorced and separated parents have already realized they cannot be the best, happiest versions of themselves as romantic partners yet, despite that, they will remain partners as parents, to some degree, for the rest of their lives.

Successful co-parents continually ask themselves two questions:
 

1) “What is best for my child/children?”

2) “Am I willing to put my own ego aside to make that happen?”

In co-parenting coaching we will work as a team to make both parties feel respected and heard. Separation and divorce are disruptive to a family, but parents can mitigate the effect it has on children by ensuring their kids feel safe, loved, and never called upon to take sides.
