Editor's note

“Some 21,000 divorces involving children occur every year in Australia. And many parents struggle to negotiate parenting decisions with their now-ex partner. Over the next few weeks we’re bringing you a package of articles about how to navigate this difficult terrain. In today’s instalment we look at an Australian study that recently spoke to parents who are doing it well, and they had some advice in common: see the world from your child’s perspective, make the important decisions with your co-parent and don’t resort to bagging your ex in front of the kids. Priscilla Dunk-West explains.

Where is the best place to raise kids? The prevailing attitude has been that children don’t belong in high-density housing, but as Katrina Raynor writes, the problem has really been that such housing has not been designed for families.”
