Divorce means ending a relationship with a spouse. The relationship with your children continues. How do you share time with the children with the person you are divorcing? It is important to develop a working relationship with the co-parent that is in the best interest of the child. It may be easier to divide and dispose of material possessions than to make joint decisions about the children. The quality of communication with your co-parent deeply affects your children's present and future adjustment. Co-parenting means respectful, deferential, flexible and cooperative decision making regarding one's children.
Children Learn What They Live - by Dorothy Law Nolte
- If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.
- If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.
- If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.
- If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.
- If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.
- If children live with tolerance, they learn patience.
- If children live with praise, they learn appreciation.
- If children live with acceptance, they learn to love.
