Tips for Separated Parents

Separation can be tough on everyone, especially children. Here are some simple tips to make it easier for you and your kids.

Work with the Other Parent

  • Cooperate When Safe: If possible, maintain a cooperative relationship with the other parent for the child’s benefit.

  • Support Their Relationship: Encourage a strong bond with the other parent unless it’s unsafe.

  • Respect Differences: Accept different parenting styles if the children are safe and secure.

  • Avoid Conflict: Do not expose children to conflicts. Use respectful communication and resolve issues calmly.
