Description
"I will be recommending this book to many of my consultation clients." - BILL EDDY, LCSW, JD, family therapist, lawyer, mediator, and co-author of BIFF for CoParent Communication, developer of the New Ways for Families parent skills training method, and co-founder of the High Conflict Institute.
In Co-Parent Like a Pro, family law experts Annette Burns and Nicole Siqueiros-Stoutner help divorced or separated parents agree on a plan that reduces conflict over the parenting schedule, holidays, vacations, medical decisions, education, and safety. This book equips readers to deal with special situations like parental alienation and substance abuse.
It's stressful to be a divorced or separated parent. You may feel that you're constantly being scrutinised by your co-parent and by the court system. You are expected to be superhuman: to forgive and forget, to be endlessly patient, to be a perfect parent, and to be calm and gracious no matter what. If you feel overwhelmed, you're not alone.
In Co-Parent Like a Pro, Annette Burns and Nicole Siqueiros-Stoutner offer their combined sixty-plus years of experience in family law to help you let go of these unrealistic expectations and successfully navigate the challenges of parenting after divorce or separation. With customisable sample language you can incorporate in your own document, this book makes it easy to draw up a thorough and effective parenting plan or evaluate a plan provided by a parenting coordinator or other court official.
You'll learn how to:
- come to an agreement about the parenting schedule, holidays, and vacations
- address medical decisions, education, safety, your child's possessions, and more
- deal with challenging situations like parental alienation, domestic violence, or your co-parent's substance abuse
- disengage from conflict
- communicate effectively
- reduce stress
- increase your child's sense of security by conveying solidarity
- protect your child's well-being
Co-Parent Like a Pro helps you overcome conflict and get back to what matters most: enjoying stress-free time with your child.
