Co-Parenting

Everyone’s circumstances are different, but keeping your child / children as your priority is key to ensuring they don’t get caught up in it all. In this episode we talk about:

 

  • What co-parenting is. 
  • How to communicate with children that you are separating and what is going to happen. 
  • How to keep the child as your priority and the importance of compartmentalising that side of your life. 
  • Why being honest is really important. 
  • Your child’s relationship with the other parent – how will it change and what can you do to support it? 
  • Communication – keeping it civil and constructive – easier said than done, but so important! 
  • What can be done if you struggle to make it work between you both.  
  • A co-parenting plan – what is it and what goes in?  
  • The emotions...for everyone! 

Our apologies for the background whirring during this episode – Becks’ lap top fan was having a funny 5 minutes (or so..!)
