How can I set boundaries with my co-parent?

Setting boundaries with a co-parent is essential for a healthy co-parenting relationship. What specific boundaries are you looking to establish?

I want to limit communication to only what's necessary for the kids.

That's a great start! You can communicate this by saying something like, 'I think it's best for us to only discuss matters related to the kids.' How do you feel about that approach?

I think that would help reduce conflict. What about scheduling?

For scheduling, you might want to create a shared calendar that both of you can access. This way, all important dates are visible, and it minimizes the need for back-and-forth communication. Would that work for you?

Yes, that sounds good! Any tips on how to handle disagreements?

When disagreements arise, try to stay calm and focus on the children's best interests. You can also set a rule to discuss issues only when both of you are in a good mindset. Would you like more strategies?
