Do you want to be able to engage in relevant, focused
discussions about the children's needs with their other parent?
Do you want an alternative to conflict and litigation?
Do you want to move from parenting disrupted by divorce
to effective, business-like co-parenting with appropriate boundaries and
rules?
Do you want to increase parental decision-making power?
Do you want to make the current custody arrangement work
as effectively as possible for the children?
SESSIONS FOCUS ON HELPING PARENTS:
*Assess existing
co-parenting skills.
*Assess how the children are functioning
*Identify and practice effective co-parenting skills.
*Maintain a focus on the needs of children.
*Develop an effective communication system.
*Cooperatively discuss specific co-parenting issues
while learning negotiation and problem-solving skills.
Both parents must attend each session as well as spouses/partners
who are key co-parenting team members. Parents will receive a notebook
to facilitate learning and skill development. The information in the notebook
helps parents move from the intimacy/anger impasse to the business of
co-parenting with meaningful boundaries and rules. Upon completion of
the basic program, parents may elect to schedule a series of follow-up
sessions to monitor their development of effective co-parenting skills.
