Co-parenting, also called joint parenting or shared parenting, is the experience of raising kids after divorce or separation. Co-parenting is often difficult for parents and children and depends on the goodwill and cooperation of parents. Each parent must show empathy, patience and open communication for it to work and that's not easy for couples who have fallen out.
There are many Do's and Don'ts that must be observed for co-parenting to be a success. Examples are setting boundaries, encouraging healthy communication, committing to not burdening the children with adult squabbles and putting the interest of children first.
When co-parenting, there are two conflict solving techniques to look into: Strategic problem-solving and Social-psychological problem solving.
Family therapists Lunar Odawa and Roselyn Kigen will be giving Kenyan parents tips on how to resolve conflict and co-parent successfully this Thursday 3rd from 1:00pm-2:00pm on Zoom. Register in advance for the webinar here.
