it is always better that both parents remain involved in the children's life after a divorce spending as much time as they can. ideally they should live in close proximity so that the children can attend the same schools and have the same friends. should either parent re-marry or develop new relationships the children should be involved as well. age-appropriate communication is the key to post-divorce child-rearing. the divorced parents should never bad-mouth each other use the children as informants etc. shared parenting requires commitment. to the kids. they need to come first.
psychology: is it healthy for kids of divorce to continue spending time with both parents together? . i know that kids will never give up hope that their parents will get back together some day. wondering if anyone on here could provide a professional opinion if it is healthy or unhealthy for kids of divorce to continue spending time with both parents together. is it good for them or is it only feeding that hope in a bad way? . in the particular case i am wondering about both parents have new partners.
