An interesting and helpful question. in my experience many mediating couples welcome the mediator giving information and making suggestions about different ways to sort things out. As long as the mediator remains even handed this can be very helpful to couples. Neutrality can be experienced as a very passive quality by couples who can feel consequently stuck. Talking through with a couple how their children may be feeling can be very powerful and galvanising for their future co-parenting.

@adebodundoyle9173 I agree with you
