There are three primary types of co-parenting styles, each adapting to different levels of cooperation between parents. Parallel co-parenting involves minimal direct communication, with parents operating independently to avoid conflicts, often communicating through written notes or digital messages. Joint co-parenting is a more collaborative approach where parents actively communicate and make decisions together, sharing responsibilities equally. Lastly, collaborative co-parenting is similar to joint but involves even more cooperation and typically includes regular in-person discussions and joint attendance at important events, making it ideal for maintaining consistency and harmony in the child’s life.
