8. Work together

When both parents are involved:

  • agree on a strategy (may require compromise)
  • be consistent
  • support each other

Can you think of an issue where you could work together more effectively as parents?  Discuss the issue and try to agree on a joint approach.  Brainstorm and write down a few ideas.  Then choose one to try out, and review it after a few days or weeks.
