How to Create a Successful Parenting Plan

Strong bonds are built over time.  Creating the right parenting plan will ensure you can create those bonds with your children.

This applies to creating bonds with your siblings, friends, and even your kids.

In order to have a strong bond, it is necessary that you spend time with your sibling, friend or child talking, sharing, playing and working together.  After talking, sharing, playing and working together, you accumulate good memories that will connect the two of you together for years (and possibly a lifetime).

Unfortunately in the divorce process, you as a parent may not be able to talk, share, play and work with your child every day.  The children will have to share their time and experiences between two different homes.  And that is what makes it difficult for many parents to come up with a parenting plan that both can agree on.  Both parents are afraid they are going to miss out on something with their child. 

That’s when us parents have to ask ourselves a really important question: should I resist talking to the other parent about their ideas for a schedule because I want to stick with my own — or can I find a way to talk with the other parent and figure out some commonalities? The answer is not always easy.

Not every parent has the same communication skills or expectations for their kids.
