Combative to Collaborative: The Co-parenting Code

ACHIEVE CO-PARENTING SUCCESS AND RAISE HAPPY CHILDREN!

Co-parenting doesn’t have to be hard, or mean sacrificing either your family or your own happiness. It's just a matter of focus and choices.

Combative to Collaborative: The Co-parenting Code channels parents’ interactions with each other to what they really want…to be good parents. But while most co-parenting books tell parents to just put the kids first even at the cost of their own happiness, Combative to Collaborative shows parents how supporting each other as good parenting partners ensures they do what’s best for their kids while also achieving personal happiness.

Move from anger, hurt, & loss to consideration, kindness, & cooperation. You will discover:

• How to diffuse a co-parent’s snarky behavior & avoid triggering their hostility • How to recognize your own combative behaviors & stop exhibiting them • How to plan for co-parenting collaboration & success • How to correct course when a relationship goes astray–even after many years of conflict!

Divided into three stages-Uncoupling, Life Goes On, and Correcting Course-the book provides a roadmap for every area of co-parenting. Whether parents are newly separated, well into their journey, or have been at it for years, this book will guide the way.

• Explore what's at stake for the family. • Identify the combative behaviors that derail parenting efforts & make life miserable for everyone. • Read real-life experiences of other co-parents & how they handled their situations both successfully & not so well. • Learn the DOs & DON'Ts of collaborative behaviors. • Answer questions to adopt an empathetic mindset, apply the Golden Rule to your situation, & achieve the positive outcome you desire.

This is The Co-parenting Code!

"Couples who have experienced the trauma of divorce and are trying to co-parent their children in the best possible way, will find this book extremely helpful." — Gary Chapman, Author of The 5 Love Languages
