Choose the exercises that suit your family and go for it! Some of the exercises are also very suitable to do with friends or relatives, for example.
Where to get support if co-parenting is challenging?
Everyday problems are part of normal life and all parents face disagreements or other challenges from time to time. For example, changes or other life stressors can affect how well co-parenting works.
However, it is important to recognise when these challenges are ones for which external support is needed. It is perfectly okay to ask for help if you feel that your own methods or resources are not sufficient to deal with the challenges.
You can discuss any challenges at your Maternity and Child Health Clinic, for example. Professionals are there for you and together you can work out the best solution for your family.
