According to UsMagazine.com, in the last year, Hayden Panettiere went through a celebrity break-up from her fiance of nine years, Wladimir Klitschko, and as a celebrity parent, she hasn’t been able to spend much time with her child. She’s opted instead to do what’s best for her child and allow her to spend more time with her father and grandmother overseas. Break-ups are hard to handle for everyone, but they can be especially difficult for parents.
Break-ups are hard, and that doesn’t change when you’re a celebrity parent. What are three tips to successfully co-parent your children with your ex?
Cupid’s Advice:
Many celebrity parents have found a way to put their children first after a break-up and are able to successfully co-parent. As long as you find that the child is the center of the relationship, you will be able to successfully parent your child with your ex, too:
1. Put the child first:Â Like Hayden Panettiere, you must always think about your child first rather than your own feelings. It might be better for the child to have a set schedule or live with one parent full-time, but ultimately it’s whatever is best for the child. Co-parenting can lead to happy co-families.
