Could a day-planner be the key to being co-operative colleagues?
Today’s Globe and Mail features an article about co-parenting after divorce and how former spouses with joint custody can work together for the sake of the kids. Sure it can be very, very tough, but Co-Parenting Works! author Tammy Daughtry says that after about two years, parents are capable of acting like a single parenting unit and are probably better at working together than they were pre-divorce.
Daughtry says the key to achieving this harmonious state is acting like “co-operative colleagues rather than foes.”
To faciliatate the co-operation, a couple in Quebec came up with the Parental Planner. France Gionet and Paul Doyon, who both have kids from previous relationships, created the planner to serve as a calendar, list of expenses, place for kid-related documents and a space to trade news about the kid.
