Parenting is TOUGH...
HIGH CONFLICT
CO-PARENTING
is a whole new ballgame!
From the constant accusations being thrown at you...
...to always feeling like you are playing DEFENSE.
It seems like your co-parent is not playing by the rules...
...and even making your child choose a team.
Nothing ever gets resolved sending the conflict into overtime,
leaving you feeling beat down & worn-out emotionally, mentally & physically.
YOU ARE NOT WINNING.
YOUR CHILD IS NOT WINNING.
I CALL FOR A TIME-OUT.
IT IS TIME FOR A NEW STRATEGY.
Do you feel caught up in a never ending chaotic conflict cyclone with your co-parent? Co-parent Coaching works with parents individually to develop a co-parent coaching plan and enhance skills in the areas of self-awareness, emotional regulation, communication, problem-solving, and parenting. Research shows that as long as children have one positive role model in their life, they will be okay. This program focuses on YOU being that person for your child, so even if your co-parent never changes you have the power to step out of the chaotic conflict cyclone and create a healthy environment for your child and a better quality of life for the both of you. AND, if your co-parent participates and focuses on these skills as well, the better it is going to be for the whole family. Co-parents who agree to participate in the program will also have the opportunity to discuss parenting issues in a safe environment while practicing the skills in order to come to a decision in the best interest of the child(ren).

Do you feel like you have lost the bond between you and your child? Rescue the Parent-Child Bond is for families who are having parent-child contact problems. This could be due to the child refusing to see a parent or the parent not being involved in the child’s life for a period of time. Through this program, barriers to the relationship will be identified and skills will be developed to reunite and strengthen the relationship between the parent and the child, resulting in a healthy parent-child bond.
At the start of the program, each family member will engage in individual sessions. The first session with each family member is the intake, in which the reunification specialist will gather information about the parent-child relationship and contact problems. The next few sessions, also completed individually, focus on building skills and developing plans for a child-focused transition.
During the skills building sessions, the estranged parent will develop a positive parenting coaching plan which enhances parenting skills and explored mechanisms for the parent and child to connect. The child skills-building sessions focus on continued development of rapport and feeling safe with the reunification specialist, increasing coping skills, assertive skills, and other skills needed to address the barriers in the parent-child relationship.
The caretaking parent’s individual sessions focus on parenting techniques for the parent to be supportive of the child and parent-child relationship throughout this process. Once these skills are developed, the parent & child will have joint sessions to practice these skills. while resolving the family issues and rebuilding the relationship.
Occasionally, additional individual sessions are required is one family member is struggling with implementing the skills. In addition, there may be times in which a co-parenting session/family session to address dynamics that impede the process.
Is your child refusing to see you during your parenting time? Are you concerned your co-parent may be engaging in parental alienation tactics or your relationship with your child is being manipulated? A Resist-Refusal Evaluation assesses the etiology for a child resisting or refusing to see a parent. There are various dynamics that occur that can influence parent child relationship, such as: parental alienation behaviors, the developmental age of the child, child’s personality, parenting styles, influence of other relationships, etc. The evaluation takes approximately ten hours and involves interviewing the favored parent, the rejected parent, the child(ren), and potentially extended family members and/or third-party professionals. A report is provided upon completion of the evaluation and the Successful Parenting professional may provide court testimony of the results.
