Co-parenting

 

Let your children feel they have a second home


  • Your children now have two homes, one with mom; another with dad. If you ever want to move, consider moving to an area that is close to them. If possible, provide your children a room to themselves, and help them decorate their own space.

  • You should provide your children some private space if having their own room is not quite an option; for example, give them their own bed, desk, and cabinet. Decorate them with some family photos and small items that they like, it could be their favorite toys, books, or games.

  • Set some basic rules for your children, it could be on their resting schedule, what tasks to be done, or general discipline, etc. (It would be ideal if you could discuss with the other parent beforehand, and come up with a plan that is tailored for your children).
