Co-parenting is parenting that is characterized by parental solidarity, cooperation, and warmth toward the children. Parents show mutual respect, balanced communication, and attunement to each other's needs. Children parented in this manner develop positive attitudes towards both males and females. In contrast, poor coordination, active undermining and disparagement of the other parent, lack of warmth, and disconnection by one parenting partner are conditions that place children and adolescents at developmental risk.
