Cupid’s Advice:
Just because you and your partner are no longer together doesn’t mean your family is broken. By staying on good terms with your ex, you can ensure that your children adjust well to a new family dynamic. Here are some of Cupid’s tips to ensure a successful co-parenting situation:
1. Communication is key: By actively communicating with your ex, you can ensure that you are both on the same page regarding your children. If one of you has concerns about something, you should be able to sit down and talk it out. Even just asking one another about their day, or what has been going on in their lives is a great step toward having a friendly relationship.

2. Be open and flexible: Different situations pop up all the time, so if your ex has to cancel a day because of an impromptu meeting, try to schedule another day so your children can still see them! Remember to put your children first, and work your parenting schedules around what will make the kids happy.
