Effective Co-parenting after Divorce

A workshop to help parents meet this challenge

We will focus on:

• Effective communication, cooperation and negotiation
• Effective agreed-upon guidelines
• Building mutual trust in and support of each other’s parenting
• Competition and jealousy
• Providing kids with safety to express their mixed feelings
• Neutralizing negative feelings left from the marriage and break-up
• Handling doubts about your own parenting

The participation of both parents is desirable but not obligatory. One parent who has done the work can change her/his own way of relating, which often leads to change on the other side.

Goals of the workshop:

• Improving practical cooperation between the adults
• Reducing tension and mutual criticism (including the unspoken) between the adults.
• Improving parents’ ability to minimize children’s distress, through alert and sensitive listening, facilitating children’s open and satisfying expression of emotion, and providing the kids with a support system in which their parents genuinely work together.

The workshop is being offered in conjunction with Chazon Fetiya.
