Co-Parenting
WRITTEN BY KERRIE MCLOUGHLIN
Chris Schauer, father of one, says, "I may not like my ex sometimes,
but we are responsible for raising the best person possible." You may
not be husband and wife anymore, but you are still father and mother
to your children, and those are lifelong roles. Check out these five co-
parenting best practices to help raise emotionally healthy children.
COMMUNICATION.
Deal directly with the other parent
through the phone, text or email and
don't use the kids as a go-between.
Consider an online sync-able calendar
like Google Calendar so both parents
know what's going on as far as birthday
parties, sports events, sleepovers, health
appointments, etc. This is also a great
place to park school project deadlines.
Creating a Healthy
RELATIONSHIP
"
you are still father
and mother to your
children..."
