Parenting is a Partnership
- Look at your relationship as a business partnership.
- Address situations with business-like behavior. If at any time a conversation becomes a little too personal, it might be wise to continue it on a later date.
- Respect and encourage the child's relationship with the other parent.
- Schedule regular appointments with the ex-spouse to discuss parenting issues.
- Make no assumptions on past behavior.
- Attempt to express and/or show appreciation towards one another as even the simplest comment or action can create a stronger and more effective partnership.
- Never intentionally break or skip appointments. If one can't be kept, be immediately forthright and honest.
- Do not make individual decisions.
- Be open minded.
- Remember the goals and recognize the benefits as they arise.
