Co-Parenting During a Pandemic
3 TIPS TO SURVIVING THIS SCHOOL YEAR
Tip No. 2: Notify the School
Whether your children are back in school full time or you’re attempting another round of virtual learning, this school year is unprecedented for many reasons. Co-parenting can compound the stressors this pandemic-riddled year introduced into our lives, and for many parents, navigating changing guidelines and proper communication with their ex is like traversing a minefield.
Your child’s school should know about their home situation. It’s very easy for teachers, administration, and the nurse’s office to call the home of nondivorced families, but it’s vital that both parents receive a notification when they are divorced or co-parenting. Parent- teacher conferences, performances, and classroom issues should all be attended by or discussed with both parents. Making sure the school knows about your situation is crucial to ensuring this happens.
It may seem impossible to find peace, but it's not. Avoid disasters with these three tips to surviving this strange school year as a co-parent.
Tip No. 3: Plan for the Worst
Tip No. 1: Find Tech Tools
If you do not have a plan for your child’s schooling to go completely online again or what should happen if they contract COVID-19, you must develop one immediately. A game plan will protect your child and prevent you from getting headaches from panicked planning. Look to your child’s teachers and school administrators for guidance and develop a plan with your child’s other parent before a disaster happens.
In today’s digital world, there’s no reason for you and your ex to go about co-parenting alone. There are many apps that make life as a divorced family much easier. Cozi is a family calendar app that allows each parent to plan their child’s day with color- coded events and lists that keep tasks, to-dos, and items to buy in an organized space. Meanwhile, WeParent was created with psychological research to offer organization and a messaging platform all in one space. Find the app that works for your family, and you’ll find communication is much easier this year.
This school year may be very different than most, but it doesn’t have to be fraught with confusion and anger. If you need legal assistance for co-parenting, call our team today.
