Karen L. Kristjanson shares the stories of a variety of divorced and separated couples who co-parent. Effective co-parenting, or sharing significant parenting time with an ex-spouse, is one of the best gifts separated parents can give to their children. The interviews in Co-Parenting from the Inside Out are with real moms and dads in diverse circumstances, showing them making choices, sometimes struggling, and often growing. Their stories offer insights into wise decision-making, as well as practical strategies that strengthen families. Parents can see that they are not alone as they navigate their feelings and build a future. While pain exists in most stories, there is also hope. Co-parents often feel that they have become more confident and compassionate, and parent better than before. The effects of their personal growth and their children’s are the silver lining in the dark pain of divorce. Karen L. Kristjanson has brought together real life co-parenting stories that inspire separated parents and help them understand co-parenting better, offering practical tips and tools that directly benefit families.

The Use of Divorce Interventions to Facilitate the Development of Coparenting Relationships in High Conflict Families
Author: Erin M. JohnsonPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Children of divorced parents
Languages : en
Pages : 60
Book Description
This dissertation utilizes the existing literature and research concerning interventions for families in divorce to explore the use of these interventions in facilitating the development of co-parenting relationships in high-conflict families. The progression of divorce and child custody laws demands the presence of both the legal system and psychological expertise in order to aid families in this difficult transition. This dissertation examines the nature of post-divorce parental relationships and identifies the barriers that prevent functional co-parenting in high-conflict families. Through an integration of the existing literature and research four barriers to effective co-parenting are identified and are utilized to evaluate the perceived benefits of mediation, family therapy, co-parenting counseling, and educational programs with high-conflict families. Focusing specifically on high-conflict families, this dissertation provides a comprehensive understanding of the barriers to co-parenting and the usefulness of divorce interventions in the development of co-parenting skills in high-conflict families.
