Chances are that you have visited this website because you and your
children's other parent are not living together. You deeply love your child and
you probably share the same hope, along with millions of other loving parents
who live apart, that you can still give your children what they need to grow up
strong, healthy, and happy.
You probably have already heard that after separation, children can do well if
they have both parents in their lives. Often, this is taken to mean that each
parent has a substantial amount of parenting time and that they share
decision making. But while these are important, these alone won't help
children thrive. How well children manage can depend more on other things
parents do or don't do. For example, hard feelings between parents,
arguments, disrespectful behavior---especially when children observe or hear
them---are very toxic for children (not to mention for the parents). This is true
whether or not parents share parenting time and decisions. There are other
influences of course, like personalities, finances, neighborhoods, living
conditions, just to mention a few, but it is how well you parent and how well
you coparent that are at the top of the list. Luckily, these are all things many
parents can do, build up, repair, or learn! The Mom's House, Dad's House
books and their companion, The CoParenting Toolkit were written exactly for
this purpose.
