Co-parents can be two married parents who want to explore sharing the child-rearing load more equitably. Or co-parents may be divorced spouses, or two adults who share a child, but are no longer romantically connected. In some families, co-parenting goes beyond two adults to include one or more new stepparents or romantically connected partners who will have some child-rearing responsibility. It doesn’t matter what the situation is…what is most important is that the people involved contribute to their child’s care, upbringing and activities while interacting frequently and respectfully with one another. Learning to co-parent effectively means communicating clearly, making sure the conversations are “child focused” and having the child’s best interest in mind.
