What is Cooperative Coparenting?
Cooperative coparenting also known as collaborative parenting or co-parenting, is an approach to parenting after separation or divorce where both parents work together in a cooperative and respectful manner to raise their children. It involves shared decision-making, effective communication, and a focus on the best interest of the child.
In cooperative coparenting, the parents prioritize the well-being of their children and strive to create a positive and stable environment for them. They recognize that even thought their romantic relationship may have ended, they will have a share responsibly to provide love, support, and guidance to their children.
