The Putting Kids First Co Parenting Class creates an opportunity for parents and family members to shift their attention from the personal aspects of divorce to the needs of their children. By using a psychoeducational approach, the Co Parenting Class focuses on the enhancement of the children's ability to function within their families, the relationship between the separate households, and how to improve the parental relationship to provide a nurturing, non-threatening home environment. The Co Parenting Class is suited for all parents, grandparents, step-parents, or others that directly or indirectly influence decisions about children.
A divorce is never a first choice or a desired end and it is the children who are caught in the middle. Putting Kids First knows the importance of protecting children's innocence while continuing to provide for their development. Through our Co Parenting Class, Putting Kids First works to strengthen families by providing adults the skills to maintain a much more effective relationship that will provide a nurturing, non-threatening environment for their children.
When families do break up parents need to learn how to help their child adjust to the changes in their lives. The Putting Kids First Co Parenting Class helps improve the quality of the parental relationship by reducing conflict and to impress on parents their critical role in helping their child adjust through co parenting.
