Was that it was realistic about conflict in parenting. If it were all about saying "yes" in a co-parenting relationship when there is conflict, there would be considerable loss for one parent. Instead, it offered a number of strategies when dealing with the conflict and recognizing when the conflict is negatively affecting the child.

1. Use Clear and Concise Language: Be direct about your needs and expectations. Avoid being vague, as this can lead to misunderstandings. For example, instead of saying “I need more help,” say “I need help with the bedtime routine on weekdays.” 2. Focus on the Child’s Best Interest: Frame conversations around what’s best for my child. If we can both agree that out child’s needs come first, it becomes easier to work together, even when discussing difficult topics. 3. Stay Calm and Respectful: Try to remain calm even if the conversation becomes tense. Avoid blame or accusations. Use “I” statements instead of “you” statements. 4. Be Open to Listening: Listening to my co-parent’s needs and concerns can help build mutual respect and understanding. It shows that I value their perspective, which can encourage them to do the same for you. 5. Set Regular Check-Ins: Consider having a routine check-in (e.g., once a week) where me and my co-parent discuss our child’s schedule, any challenges, and anything that needs attention. This helps avoid surprises and ensures everyone is on the same page. 6. Use Tools: Tools like a shared calendar or co-parenting apps can help keep track of schedules and important information. This can reduce misunderstandings about appointments, commitments, and event.

I really enjoyed the narrator of the courses. She has a very calm and easy to follow voice. It felt like she was speaking directly to me and it made me feel comfortable to work through the class. I like how each family had different situations going on and each person got to talk about their perception to the issues at hand. I feel like hearing both sides helped me put into perspective a sense of how my coparent may feel.
