The Co-Parenting Handbook ─ Raising Well-Adjusted and Resilient Kids from Little Ones to Young Adults Through Divorce or Separation

A practical manual for parents transitioning from being a married couple with children to being solely co-parents together. This guide helps them navigate difficult emotional terrain, create boundaries, and establish guidelines so that together they can be the parents their children deserve.

The Co-Parenting Handbook helps parents confidently take on the challenges of raising children when they live in separate homes. Addressing parents’ questions about the emotional impact of separation, conflict, grief, and recovery, the author skillfully provides a roadmap for all members of the family to constructively navigate through separation/divorce and beyond. Through practical and reassuring guidance, parents discover how to move on from being angry and hurt partners to constructive, successful co-parents who are able to put their children’s needs first.
