And then as you engage in this act of becoming a conscious co-parent, you discover a heightened sense of emotional awareness of yourself and your child, and you gain a clearer approach to self-regulation in the parenting relationship with your child, and you feel a greater compassion for yourself and your child.
And also, as Brene Brown says, you know, we are w we want to be generous in our s assumptions of one another.
We're generous in our assumptions of
how our co parent is trying to do the best that they can as well in this partnership and in in parenting the child.

been in my experience and I don't have necessarily real research to back this up.
It's more anecdotal because it's research that I have found in my private practice.
