Co-Parenting in Palm Desert
Thoughts from your Therapist Palm Desert
The co-parenting relationship affects the entire family, whether parents are living together or separately. Therapist Palm Desert Lauren Fox, LCSW supports families to improve their mental health and relationships.
Whether you are raising a baby in the same home as your partner or in separate homes, if you have a child with someone, chances are you differ in your views at times. One parent might feel very strongly about raising a child to be autonomous and independent, while the other feels equally strongly about providing a lot of support and scaffolding around development before pushing the child towards independence. Both parents love their child fiercely, and both parents have valid reasons for wanting to support their child in the ways that they find important. Working together to explore the values each parent holds can be incredibly helpful. Seeking out the support of a therapist trained in early childhood mental health and development can shed light on the needs of the child and the family. Coparenting sessions will inevitably bring up challenging conversations and revelations, and will also help the family system grow to support the needs of all family members.
