Co-Parenting
When separated or divorced parents work together to raise their child.
Details
Co-parenting means two parents continuing to share responsibility for a child even if they are no longer together as a couple. Healthy co-parenting focuses on the child’s stability, safety, and emotional needs rather than old conflict between the adults. It often involves respectful communication, consistent routines, and making the child feel free to love both parents.
💡 Real-Life Example
After divorce, two parents keep a shared calendar, attend school meetings, and avoid putting their child in the middle of arguments.
