"The way someone else perceives what you do is a result of their own experiences (which you can’t control), their own preferences (which you can’t predict), and their own expectations (which you don’t set).

If your choices don’t match their expectations that is their concern, not yours."

Are you co-parenting under the same roof?

Here are some tips that may help

Create a routine – Kids thrive on routine and structure is especially important now. That means time to play, to virtually socialise, exercise and home school.

One parent in charge – only one of you can be in charge at any given time. Learn to divide whose parenting time it is and stay out of the way or don’t get involved when its not your turn. This is good training for when you are separated parents physically as well as emotionally.

Set ground rules – you may have different rules in different houses once you separate physically but for now you need one set and you need to agree the rules together. Bedtimes, wake times, screen times, routines, etc

Manage your own mental health – managing your own frustrations at this time is key. Stay connected to friends and family and keep talking. Apps that encourage meditation are great and can help reduce frustration and anxiety.
