Respect New Partners
Like it or not, live-in partners of your ex will have a role, big or small, in your child’s new normal. Lead by example in showing respect to that person. This will make life easier on your child and the other parent that your child depends on.
Be a Good Teammate
Co-parenting is a collaboration. Although your marriage is over, you are still in a parenting partnership with your ex. Talk openly about what is working and what is not. Make sacrifices for the good of the team and your child. Be a leader when necessary, and be willing to take a lesser role as well.
