So, why is co-parent mediation a good idea?

Co-parent mediation is a great idea for separated parents because it helps create a structured, neutral space to resolve conflicts, and improve communication. 


But why does this matter?


If parents are forward focused on their children's needs, then this can help them find common ground and work out what those common goals mean for their children and how they can jointly deliver on them. 


Listening to hear rather than listening to react or defend yourself can help reduce overreacting, not hearing, not understanding, and fuelling conflict. Active listening can help reduce conflict.
