Summary
Bloomsbury presents The Co-Parent: A Toolkit for Parenting Together, Apart, written and read by Aaron Dale

The essential guide to raising children across multiple households, after divorce or separation

Contrary to harmful stereotypes, research actually shows that children raised in cooperative co-parenting environments are more likely to feel secure and supported as they grow, despite the changes in family structure.

The Co-Parent gives you the tools to help your family experience the positive aspects of co-parenting, while also navigating the more challenging parts. As a co-parent himself, Aaron Dale shares his own insights, interviews with experts, practical tips and moments of reflection in order to help you find your own way forward.

Wherever you are on your co-parenting journey, every page is packed with advice on resolving past conflict, setting boundaries, maintaining healthy communication, managing finances, dealing with new relationships, organising schedules, navigating special occasions and – where applicable – transitioning to a blended family.©2026 Aaron Dale (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Critic reviews

Aaron brings something incredibly valuable to the co-parenting conversation: honesty, humility and lived experience. His child-focused approach encourages parents to look beyond conflict and focus on what matters most - the wellbeing of their children
This is the book I wish I'd had during the darkest days of my coparenting journey. It is an extraordinary gift to the countless mothers and fathers navigating that same path
What I love about this book is that it’s practical. It isn’t about being the perfect parent or ex-partner it’s about finding better ways to communicate, put your children first, and create a healthier situation for everyone involved. If you’re new to co-parenting or you’re struggling to make it work, this book is full of the kind of advice I wish more people had access to from day one
Essential
With a third of British children raised by separated parents, co-parenting is a common framework for mums and dads to care for their kids within. Dale offers advice on everything... a father in-the-know, he encourages parents to put the child first for the benefit of all

I'm not yet a parent myself but I wanted to listen to this audiobook to gain a deeper understanding of co-parenting and the complexities that come with raising children together while living apart. I also wanted to broaden my perspective so I can better support family and friends through meaningful and informed conversations.

What struck me immediately was how openly, honestly and emotionally the book began. There was a real vulnerability in the storytelling that caught my attention and genuinely moved me.

I'm still making my way through the audiobook but so far I've found it incredibly reflective, insightful and eye-opening. It's encouraged me to think more deeply about the emotional experiences, challenges and perspectives involved in co-parenting.

A really valuable listen, even for those of us who aren't parents ourselves - yet! I'm looking forward to hearing the rest!

An emotional, reflective and eye opening listen

Am excellent read. I have been following Aaron Dale in Instagram and was in awe with how he relates to his sons and the respect shown to mother's of his two boys. I then listened to him on the awesome podcast 'Your Aunties could never' and was compelled to purchase this read. Every parent should it. Every parent. Thank you Aaron Dale. I wished I had this book years ago.
