Surviving and THRIVING After Divorce
CO-PARENTING 101
Divorce papers are signed! Now what? Your marriage has ended but your co-parenting relationship is still very much alive. Becoming parents means having a forever connection with your ex, regardless of whether the romantic or couple relationship ends.
We help co-parents find collaborative, meaningful solutions to parenting challenges. Some of the issues we help with include:
*parenting time transitions - is simplification better for your kids instead of multiple transitions?
*righteousness v. relationship-focused attitudes. You may be right but are your kids happy?
*If your child is sick, do you force them to go with you for parenting time, or honor their wishes to just stay at their other parent's home?
* If you messed up, how do you make amends/repair your relationship with your kids
* Are you giving your ex the benefit of the doubt or judging them for past behaviors?
* Are you encouraging your kids to share/talk about enjoyable activities with the other parent?
*50% of your kids comes from your ex? Are you showing your ex respect, compassion and kindness?
***Friendly co-parents create healthy, emotional safe spaces for their kids and teens to openly process emotions and feel less overwhelming stress and anxiety about the changes in their lives.
If only co-parenting came with an instruction manual!
We help traditional/nontraditional parents overcome
