The “2012 Co-Parenting Communication Guide” emphasizes the importance of accurate, complete, and timely information sharing between co-parents, following the “Golden Rule” of providing the same information you would expect to receive. It suggests using respectful, brief, and business-like communication methods such as emails, text messages, and shared calendars to coordinate parenting responsibilities. The guide also stresses the need for both parents to stay informed about the child’s healthcare and education, sharing important information promptly and ensuring both are listed on school and medical records. The primary goal is to maintain a child-centered approach to ensure the child’s well-being in high-conflict situations.
