Episode 53 - How To Improve Co-Parenting Communication – Even With Difficult People
This is a practical episode to help co-parents improve the exchange of information about the kids, even if the co-parenting relationship is difficult or challenging. I welcome Kevin Dorsey, the manager of professional relationships for Our Family Wizard. We talk about Our Family Wizard app and website, which is a suite of resources designed to help separated or divorced parents communicate effectively.
Kevin discusses the benefits of using Our Family Wizard, including its transparency, verified communication, and specialized calendar templates. We emphasize the importance of using these tools to co-parent effectively and in the best interest of the child. These tools are used to help avoid conflict or confusion and to help parents become more confident in working together in their roles as co-parents.
Giving parents the tools needed to maintain a flow of information between two households helps to reduce tension between the parents and also provides clarity for the kids. This is a very low-cost (or even free for those who are struggling financially), customizable option that helps parents work through issues and prevent or reduce the need to continually return to court around co-parenting schedules and misunderstandings.
