CO-PARENTING SEMINARS
Co-parenting is a choice parents make to focus on the needs of their children while parenting from separate homes. Even in the best of circumstances, co-parenting can be difficult due to past hurts and different parenting styles. This four-hour, court-approved parenting class "Two Parents, Two Homes" will equip you with knowledge and skills to co-parent peacefully. You will learn to:
-
Keep children out of parental conflict
-
Clarify parenting responsibilities
-
Identify your child's needs during this transition
-
Reduce and resolve conflict
-
Determine financial responsibilities
-
Improve communication with your children and the other parent
FEE: $50

Exceptional training! I learned new information that can be immediately applied. So much information to be shared ... I wish the training was longer!

I left this training with an arsenal of how to improve my communication with my kids so that my expectations are clear and they know their feelings are important and valid.
