Co-parenting requires communication.
But when communication consistently escalates conflict, alternative strategies may be necessary.
Parallel parenting is designed to:
• Limit direct interaction
• Establish clear routines
• Reduce opportunities for conflict
• Protect children from tension
Key features include:
• Detailed parenting schedules
• Communication limited to essential matters
• Use of written platforms or parenting apps
• Independent decision-making within agreed boundaries
Parallel parenting acknowledges reality.
It recognises that not all former partners can cooperate effectively, structure can provide peace where goodwill cannot.
Fathers should understand that reducing conflict exposure is often in the child’s best interests.
