| Supervised visitation is centered on building a relationship between child and parent. If both parents attend, even if one is in the waiting room, the positive message it sends to the kids over time is powerful.
It says that the kids are more important than the parents differences. In the case of domestic violence, kids and both parents would need to be prepared by a counselor who understands domestic violence.
Supervised visitation is about parents working together with a neutral third party to create a sense of safety. It gives the kids a sense of peace that parents will be okay and that a relationship with each parent will be okay. It is a chance at positive, consistent and calm interaction.
During the time together, activities and conversation about a variety of topics is facilitated. While it is not counseling or therapy, visitation supervised by a counselor has the advantage of available interventions designed to redirect communication in such a way that it is productive and resolves conflict.
All participants agree how to express themselves, to not talk negatively about others, and avoid asking children to convey information about the other parent.
It is in the child's best interest that neither parent does not intentionally do anything to impair the natural development of the children's love and respect for the other parent.
