It’s tough enough being a
parent this days, but when you add in the layer of co-parenting
with your children’s other parent, it can become complicated – the
good news is, it doesn’t need to be.
Our guest, Dr. Isolina
Ricci, Ph.D., is the author of the enduring classic for
parents Mom's House, Dad's House, Mom's
House, Dad's House for KIDS, and the newly released
The CoParenting Toolkit. She is an internationally
renowned licensed family therapist, educator, and mediator whose
work has inspired and supported two generations of parents. Many of
her pioneering concepts such as "Parenting Plans," the
"business-like" approach for managing conflict and communications,
better words to replace legal terms like "custody" and
"visitation," have all become accepted standards.
In this episode of The
Smart Divorce we discuss how to co-parent without conflict, do
what’s in your children’s best interest and
more.
