Have you ever belonged to a team that "worked well" together? In typical divorcing families and stepfamilies, co-parents need to patiently overcome some mix of these barriers to form an effective nurturing team (Project 10) as they merge and stabilize their biofamilies over several years: ● informed, aware, motivated, effective leaders, who evolve... ● clear, compatible goals and priorities, and a viable plan to reach the goals; and... ● freedom to acquire enough relevant resources and supports to work the plan; and... ● every team-member is clear on their and other members' personal rights, roles, and related rules; and... ● each person works to acquire enough knowledge and skills to perform their roles effectively; and... ● each person accepts and respects (a) themselves and (b) each other teammate, despite conflicts and differences with them; and... ● the ability to accept when group changes are needed, and the courage to make them; and... ● an effective way of identifying and resolving individual and group problems (unfilled needs) as they occur. Would you amend these traits? Would each of your co-parents say these traits describe all your family's adults and supporters now? If not, what's in the way of you all intentionally becoming a more effective nurturing team together? Project 10 offers effective ways to increase your family teamwork over time. |
