Divorcing Parents Who Cooperate
Divorcing parents that strive to cooperate with each other are more likely to make decisions that are in the best interests of children. In fact, nurturing an overall spirit of cooperation is more important than parents agreeing on any one particular issue. Also, parents who learn to put aside their own personal issues with the other parent when dealing with issues that involve the children are more likely to be looked on favorably by the court and usually have an easier time getting through the divorce process. On the other hand, parents who consistently argue and fight with one another make life difficult not only for their children but for themselves. read more..
Parenting Divorce Brings Changes
Parenting through divorce brings about many changes in the lives of both parents and children. One of those changes for children may be in their immediate support network. This might include a loss of friendships and school ties if the divorce requires moving. It might also include changing relationships with extended family members after the divorce.To minimize stress on your children and ultimately yourself, you should attempt to keep your lifestyle as close to what it was prior to the divorce. read more..
A Sense Of Balance
Parenting through divorce will require a sense of balance between your needs and your children's needs. It is important for parents to realize that sometimes focusing on their own needs is also helping their children. Children, especially young children, will feel a sense of security if they feel their parents are doing alright emotionally.The critical thing to remember is that how you get your needs met is extremely important. Make sure you look for healthy outlets like counseling with a professional therapist, meeting with friends, support groups, or activities that bring you pleasure.
If you don't find a way to take care of yourself through the process, you will be more likely to lose track of what your children need as you struggle with your own feelings. read more..

- Hi Vimz,
Your lens has some great tips and some good resources for parents dealing with divorce. From personal experience, divorce is a tough process and it's often difficult to keep our children's best interest at heart when we are in pain. My ex and I have been able to develop a wonderfully supportive relationship and are comfortable together, which has been great for the kids, but it took time for that to happen.
Best of luck to you! I admire that you are dedicated to helping people!

- Hello,
I noticed your article above and wanted to mention an excellent book: Marriages End, Families Don't. It talks about co-parenting in a new way :)
