 Reshape your communication 

Communication sets the tone for your co-parenting relationship. ToneMeter points out when your message might sound confrontational. ToneMeter AI will give you a neutral alternative that still gets the point across. 

Lower stress

ToneMeter helps you notice your own communication style—and then adjusts the tone (if you want to) without changing the meaning. Regardless of what your co-parent does or says, reducing negativity in communication lowers your stress 

 Using ToneMeter can help support you during a difficult, emotional time.

Minimize conflict

When one co-parent feels upset while communicating, the other parent often responds in the same way or even escalates the situation. Quickly, the conversation turns into an argument. With ToneMeter AI’s help, you can completely avoid that original trigger.   

 Keep the attention on taking care of the kids, not how you feel about each other.   

Establish new patterns

Over time, you’ll get used to communicating with your co-parent civilly and productively. This new way of writing might become a habit. It will feel comfortable, because it’s so fast and easy with ToneMeter AI’s guidance.  

 You can escape the gloom, feel less helpless, and even set the overall tone for your communication.
