manner

communication


·         DO:  Set a clear
objective every time you communicate


·         DON’T: Sabotage the
conversation with insults or accusations or saying things like,
"they don't do it at my house!"

your thoughts before you make decisions (to ensure your
motivations are keeping the best interests of kids at the center)


·         DON’T: React impulsively in a
way that is intended to punish or insult your ex-spouse

be open to collaborative problem solving and compromising

answer
