WELCOME TO CONFIDENT CO-PARENTING ONLINE

“ A course that fulfills court requirements for divorcing parents and child custody issues.”

“ After representing clients going through the divorce process, I realized that there is a serious lack of good information and advice available to the divorcing parents about how to deal with the children who are caught in the middle of this process. I believe this co-parenting course is an excellent guide to assist parents and children through this difficult and confusing time, and I would not hesitate to recommend it.”                 Rachel A. Fefer, Attorney at Law.

 

Confident Coparenting is an interactive course that focuses on what happens to children when their parents divorce or have ongoing custody issues.
If you need to fulfill a coparenting course, this program will do just that. Most important, though, this course will improve your coparenting skills and help you to be a better parent.

CONFIDENT CO-PARENTING
A 4-Hour Seminar for Divorcing Parents

Co-parenting takes a lot of cooperation, and major attitude adjustments. This can be stressful for you, your child and your child’s other parent. The goal of this seminar is to present you with insights as to what stress and adjustment mechanisms are at work for you and your children, and give you strategies that will help you co-parent successfully.

Children of all ages rely on their parents to provide consistent, predictable routines that stabilize their environment and help them feel safe. Establishing that safety net can be challenging under the best of circumstances. When parents live apart, their children require even more assurance - that both of their parents love them, no matter what.

Confident Co-parenting Seminars focus on what happens to children when their parents live apart and helps parents prepare for legal and emotional challenges.

Parenting Partnerships offers these seminars from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on the first Saturday of every month at our Conference Center in South Montgomery County. Each participant receives four hours of instruction which includes a workbook.
The following topics are covered:

• The Legality of the Co-Parenting Reality
• Coping with Co-Parenting Challenges
• Understanding Your Child
• Co-parentingTeamwork
Thank you for giving Parenting Partnerships the opportunity to provide you with information that will help you successfully co-parent.
