About Lesson

Key Message:
Setting clear, healthy boundaries with your ex is essential for reducing conflict and ensuring a productive co-parenting relationship.

Discussion Points:

  • Why Boundaries Are Important:
    • They help prevent misunderstandings and overstepping.
    • They protect your mental and emotional well-being.
  • Examples of Healthy Boundaries:
    • Time and place for discussions: Only talk about parenting issues at agreed-upon times.
    • Personal lives are off-limits: Keep the focus on the kids, not each other’s personal lives.

Video Prompt:

Title: “The Power of Boundaries in Co-Parenting”
Length: ~6–7 minutes
Script Example:
“Boundaries aren’t walls—they’re fences with gates. They let in the things that help you and your kids thrive and keep out the things that don’t.”

 

Action Steps:

  1. Boundary Worksheet:
    • Write down three boundaries you’d like to set with your ex.
    • Example:
      • “We only discuss parenting issues.”
      • “Drop-offs and pick-ups are quick and respectful.”
  1. Practice Saying No:
    • Practice politely declining requests that violate your boundaries.
    • Example:
      • “I’m not comfortable discussing that. Let’s keep the focus on our child.”
