How can co-parenting be of value if my ex is not interested?<\/p>\n
I often get calls about a separated parent wishing to come to co-parenting coaching but the other co-parent is unwilling to come.<\/p>\n
Truth is, the co-parent who is initiating the request will benefit from co-parenting coaching with or without their co-parent.<\/p>\n
You see, just like any relationships, co-parents are each a half of the parenting relationship. Seeking support for challenges and conflicts and working on oneself will affect change which will directly impact the co-parenting relationship and will motivate the other person to eventually adjust to new attitudes.<\/p>\n
Although we are individuals with various degree of singularity, we are part of a collective and how we behave in this collective has an impact on others.<\/p>\n
The best way to resolve conflicts and co-parenting challenges is to bring kindness, sensitivity and acceptance to the relationship yourself. Learn to have clear and ethical boundaries with your co-parent will go a long way in setting standards for the overall quality of the co-parenting relationship.<\/p>\n
Coming to co-parenting coaching by yourself to evaluate making those efforts is therefore not a wasted effort.<\/p>\n
In the end, what will contribute to bettering your co-parenting relationship is being able to ask yourself: How am I contributing to the conflicts and challenges? In finding the answer and solution, you will be half way there!<\/p>\n
