The Co-Parenting Secret

It’s Not About You

De: Jon Bassford

For decades, co-parenting has been framed as something parents endure after separation or divorce—a fragile truce built around schedules, logistics, and “getting through it.”

The Co-Parenting Secret flips that script.

What many people call co-parenting is actually parallel parenting: separate rules, limited communication, unresolved resentment, and old scores that children can feel—even when parents aren’t openly fighting.

Children don’t experience parenting in pieces. They experience it as a system. When expectations shift between homes and transitions are emotionally loaded, even “low-conflict” arrangements can quietly erode a child’s sense of safety, trust, and stability.

This book introduces a new model of true co-parenting—built on coordination, consistency, and conscious choice—so everyone’s life improves, not just the child’s.

What you’ll learn:

• Break cycles of anger, resentment, and score-keeping
• Shift from high-conflict parallel parenting to true co-parenting
• Communicate with clarity instead of defensiveness
• Create consistency and structure across two homes
• Reduce emotional stress during transitions

Who this book is for: Divorced or separated parents, parents raising children across two homes, parents who struggle to communicate, and anyone stuck in ongoing conflict or quiet tension who wants a healthier, more intentional way forward.

Co-parenting doesn’t have to mean tension or reliving the past. Changing how we co-parent changes the way our children see the world.
