THE KEY TO PUTTING KIDS FIRST:
A Guide to Successful Co-Parenting

It includes sharing parental responsibilities and making joint decisions that affect the long-term emotional and developmental needs of a child in everyday life. ~Time To Put Kids First
There are many benefits for children, including:
- Allows children to see that people can work past their differences.
- Teaches and instills respect in children when they see the two most important people in their lives demonstrating mutual respect.
- Provides children a sense of safety and security by maintaining a calm and peaceful environment.
- Fosters extended love and support by involving both sides of their families in their upbringing.
By making a commitment to Co-Parent, you're pledging to your child that you'll put their needs above your own and will do everything within your power to raise them in a happy, healthy, and secure environment filled with love, compassion, and respect for everyone involved in your child’s life.
