Co-Parenting vs. Parallel Parenting
Parenting after separation/divorce can go one of two ways — healing or harming.
As parenting is a forever position and the hardest job we will ever have!
The difference isn’t in the title, but in the actions and behaviors.
💚 Co-Parenting is grounded with respect, maturity, and teamwork.
Parents communicate for the sake of the child — Not our egos.
Children grow up secure, balanced, and confident because love, structure, and stability guide their world.
They learn what healthy relationships look like and how to handle conflict with compassion.
💔 Parallel Parenting looks different.
It’s silence between storms, walls built from pain, and tension disguised as peace.
Children become messengers in emotional battles, absorbing the lies, manipulation, and stress that shape their self-worth.
This pattern teaches confusion, fear, and emotional detachment — creating another generation that repeats the cycle.
💛The goal isn’t perfection as there is no such thing, however progress and progression works! Staying present for the child/children leads to success. Children deserves two parents who choose peace over pride, and growth over grudges.
Even when love ends between adults, parenting never should. 🩵
