CO-PARENTING SEMINARS

-
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

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.
