How to Co-Parent during Special Events

Disclaimer: This article is only intended for educational purposes and shouldn't be used as a substitute for legal advice.

Many divorced couples can co-parent their children if they don't regularly see each other. However, many activities involving children need the presence of divorced parents. These include birthday parties, sporting events, graduation ceremonies.

Effective co-parenting always works in favour of the children


Ensure you know who is hosting the home-based events, coordinate your work schedules, and hash out the details with your ex-partner concerning the time spent with the children.

Managing co-parenting during special events can be tricky. Here are some helpful suggestions to help you:

1. Child-Centred Approach

In a special event, it's all about your kids having a good time. Have parenting discussions outside the presence of children. Playing Elf on the Shelf and unwrapping presents the next day are cherishable memories for your children.

It's also possible that if there is a parental conflict on the event day, the children will remember the day by your conflict and not as a happy day for them.

2. Advanced Parenting Arrangements

Ensure everyone is on the same page about the upcoming special occasions or holidays to avoid last-minute disputes. Parenting agreements put in writing will reduce the potential of misinterpretation.

For example, your ex-partner can spend Boxing Day with the children on odd years, while you can spend Christmas Eve and Day with the kids on even years. Similarly, your ex-partner spends Christmas with the kids every alternate year, while you can enjoy Boxing Day with your children in the odd years.

In this manner, your children can spend special events not just with their parents, but with their maternal and paternal relatives and other acquaintances too. When it comes to ex-partners, their cultural backgrounds may differ from yours, which could be advantageous for everyone involved.

3. Effective Communication

When people don't communicate efficiently, things go awry. Even if you prefer to interact with your ex in person, a refusal to meet can make things difficult. No matter how you and your ex-partner choose to communicate, always treat each other with respect.

Prep your words before sending them to your ex-partner, especially if you're speaking through email or letter. Co-parenting apps can play a crucial role in maintaining effective communication with your ex-spouse. Your comments should be succinct, informative, courteous, and firm during high-conflict situations.

4. Seeking Assistance

If everything else fails and you cannot co-parent during special events, you may want to consider hiring a professional to receive co-parenting assistance.
