"C.A.R.E. is an acronym for the mindset necessary to improve your ability to solve problems during a conflict. It can be a conflict with anyone. Of course, most of my clients are co-parents, but C.A.R.E. works with best friends, crotchety bosses, contrary children, as well as an ex with whom you no longer feel you have anything in common. When you are having a disagreement, think C.A.R.E.:"
"Texting is convenient, but it is not a communication tool. It's a notification tool. It's something you use to tell your co-parent you will be 15 minutes late to the exchange. Texting has become the path of least resistance for estranged parents. Don't want to talk to your ex? Text them. Texting is simply not a productive way to raise your children together. Ironically, "communicate only through text" has become the path of least resistance for the courts, as well."
C.A.R.E. is a mindset for improving problem-solving during conflicts across relationships, including co-parents, friends, bosses, children, and ex-partners. Many people seek help because they cannot communicate effectively, and courts often mandate written-only communication with texting allowed to limit instigation. Texting functions as a notification tool rather than a true communication method and is inadequate for collaborative parenting. Courts increasingly require co-parenting apps to monitor exchanges. Active listening involves restating or paraphrasing what was heard to confirm a shared understanding and ensure both parties accurately receive information.
