Partners go from one way of connecting, to a very different set of expectations from one another – because it becomes more about them co-parenting and prioritising the kids instead of their relationship.ย 

How I guide and support them through this transition, is working with them to develop a ‘๐—–๐—ผ-๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฃ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ป’.ย 

Itโ€™s a solid and effective way to help them focus and collaborate together, so they can create a different future.ย 

Reality is, theyโ€™ll always be connected because of the children and way into their adult years.ย 

Some of the areas we go through are:ย 

โœ”๏ธshared living arrangementsย 

โœ”๏ธscheduled responsibilities of looking after the kidsย 

โœ”๏ธpreferences on parenting stylesย 

โœ”๏ธcreating healthy communication between co-parentsย 

โœ”๏ธ childrenโ€™s emotional well-beingย 

โœ”๏ธ how special occasions will work, like birthdays etcย 

โœ”๏ธ suitable modes of communication between co-parentsย 

โœ”๏ธ agreement on how to introduce a new partner to the children.
