Co-parenting and technology

For families dealing with separated parents, how to address decisions and issues involving your children can be a challenge.  We have talked in this blog before about the use of co-parenting counselors.  These counselors are not focused on mending a romantic relationship between parents; they are in the business of helping two adults figure out how to work together for the interest of children.

In addition to the services of a counselor, technology has a lot to offer.  There are new websites and apps appearing every day to help parents share information, calendars and schedules virtually.  Some times having this neutral space to post information can help.  There are pros and cons, good and bad aspects of any website or app; and it does take the parents to check them out and decide which one will work for them.  But, it can be worth a shot.
