Parallel Parenting, what is it?

Read Now

I found this interesting article on Babygaga.com about "parallel parenting" as opposed to co-parenting. The jist of it is that parallel parenting is ideal in cases where the parents to a child engage in a more business like relationship when it comes to parenting. Co-parenting is only possible when the two parents involved can communicate and work together on a mutually agreed upon parenting plan. When communication and collaboration are not possible, parallel parenting is the next best thing. Read more about parallel parenting here.

I don't often look to celebrities for their life choices, but in this case, it's great to see what ANYONE is doing for co-parenting that WORKS. Co-parenting is such an essential part of an divorce. It requires a lot of planning, communication and coordination.

I LOVE hearing about creative solutions to co-parenting! It reminds me that there is no one-size-fits-all answer. There is seriously a world of possibilities when two sides have an open mind. ABC news featured a group of adults with only kids in common who decided to rent a house and shelter in place ALL TOGETHER to the benefit of the kids they share! What a beautiful gesture at a troubling time. Their kids will undoubtably look back and see this crisis as a positive life experience even though it will be a crazy adjustment for everyone.

Familylawweek.co.uk posted an article about how to have mediation during a lockdown. They mention a lot of the issues that may need to be addressed during a lockdown situation:

What are some of the issues that could be addressed in mediation, that separated parents are facing during this unprecedented time?

The following is by no means an exhaustive list, but sets out some examples:

The other parent refuses to talk to me about anything to do with the impact of Covid 19 on our parenting
I have symptoms of Covid 19 but my child is fine so can't they still go to the other parent and give me a break?
My child has symptoms of Covid 19 and so I want to keep them at home but the other parent is saying they think they have already had the virus and so are insisting that they are equally able to provide care
I am frightened that letting my child travel to the other parent will increase their risk of getting Covid 19
The other parent does not trust me to be as careful as them so they won't let my child come to stay with me at the moment
I want the care arrangements to continue because I need to work but the other parent says I am the main carer and should prioritise our child
Now that my child is not at school, and it's not school holidays, the other parent refuses to share the care of the child during what would have been the school day
I want to discuss changing the arrangements for the school holidays because we will now not be going away on holiday
I want to discuss other ways of having contact with my children whilst I have symptoms
I normally see my children in a contact centre but I have been told it is closed.

It is always helpful to look at other resources and see what other mediators are addressing during these ever-changing circumstances. If you need mediation to discuss these issues, contact us today. Don’t wait.
