How can I build trust with my co-parent?

Building trust in co-parenting involves open communication, consistency, and mutual respect. What specific challenges are you facing?

I feel like my co-parent doesn't always follow through on agreements.

It's important to address this directly. Have you considered having a calm conversation about your concerns?

I haven't, but I think that could help. How should I approach it?

Start by expressing your feelings without blaming. Use 'I' statements, like 'I feel worried when agreements aren't followed.' This can open up a constructive dialogue.

That makes sense. What if they react negatively?

If they react negatively, try to stay calm and listen to their perspective. Acknowledge their feelings and suggest finding a compromise.
