Lyn is joined by JP Marsh, to talk about the topic of co-parenting after separation/ divorce, and how to transition from conflict to collaboration. JP shares his personal experience of co-parenting his daughter with her mother after their separation. He highlights the challenges they initially faced, such as hurt feelings and animosity, and also how they were able to overcome these through self-awareness and effective communication. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Establishing clear communication, setting boundaries, and expressing needs and expectations are crucial in co-parenting relationships.
• Self-Reflection and Growth: Recognising personal triggers, working on mental health, and breaking negative patterns are essential for personal growth and improving the co-parenting dynamic.
• Refrain from blaming the other parent and instead focus on finding compromises and solutions together for the well-being of the child/ children.
• Maintaining consistency regarding rules, routines, dicipline and boundaries across both households provides stability and security for the child/ children.
• Collaboration over Conflict: Transitioning from conflict to collaboration requires the willingness to compromise, to be on the same page, and prioritise the child's/ children's best interests.

BEST MOMENTS

"The awareness, I guess, is a big part of it, you know, and it's the biggest thing that I have to get through to people, especially early on, and kind of beat into their heads is you gotta, you need to leave your own pity party." 

"Most people won't get out of their own way. Whether it be the mother or the father, it doesn't really matter" 

"Children need boundaries as well. They need that routine."
