Spotlight - Coparenting Tips & Best Practices

The National Responsible Fatherhood Clearing house provides tips and best practices for those who are coparenting.

  • Try to keep the lines of communication open.
  • Help children plan ahead.
  • Keep routines consistent.
  • Make the most of your time together.

Children tend to do best when their coparents:

  • Understand and support each other's parenting style.
  • Communicate effectively and manage any disagreements in respectful ways.
  • Establish clear and consistent rules and standards for the children.
  • Look at things from a child-focused approach.
  • Understand the fears, needs, and wishes of their children.
  • Let go of angry feelings and resentments towards each other.
  • Make sure their children feel loved and wanted in each home.
