Communicate calmly—without stirring up conflict

What can you do with ToneMeter? 

Communication sets the tone for your co-parenting relationship. ToneMeter helps you shape a positive tone instead of sounding confrontational. 

Minimise conflict

When one co-parent speaks rudely, the other parent often responds in the same way or even escalates the situation. Quickly, a small question or tidbit of information gets blown out of proportion and turns into an argument. With ToneMeter’s help, you can completely avoid that original trigger.  

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

Reflect and grow

Co-parenting is so important and so personal—emotions are inevitably going to run high at some point (nobody’s perfect). ToneMeter helps you recognise when those feelings are clouding your words, and it gives you a chance to rewrite (always optional).

ToneMeter is one way to take care of yourself during a difficult time.  

Establish new patterns

Over time, you’ll get used to communicating with your co-parent civilly and productively. Slowly, this new way of writing might become a habit. It will feel comfortable, and you’ll barely need ToneMeter’s guidance. 

When you establish new patterns for yourself, you can escape the negativity—and maybe set the tone for your co-parent’s communication, too. 

Focus on ideas and information (not emotions) 

ToneMeter is like an emotional spellcheck. It catches language that is: 

  • Upsetting
  • Aggressive
  • Humiliating
  • Hurtful

Private feedback

There’s no option to create a ToneMeter report, and none of the ToneMeter feedback is recorded. It’s just a tool for self-reflection. It’s completely up to you what you do with this feedback.
