Do not judge. Do not question your children about the other parents choices. Be open and use authentic communication. Helped me to see things differently for the benefit of our children. Knew this before, but it was great reminder that kids do not separate their self-esteem from what they hear about their parents. Thery are 1/2 of dad and 1/2 of mom in their mind. If anyone (spouce, relatives, friends, etc) speaks poorly about dad or mom that impacts significantly kids’ self-image. Also, great reminder that we are all responsible for where we got to. We should avoid trying to villainize the ex, but instead looking in what in our actions made it possible, so that we do not make the same mistakes next time. Very intuitive and inciteful Excited to be able to better co-parent I just went through this course and it show me a lot about my self and understanding that if I don’t take the step to better myself for my kids it can damage them emotionally and I don’t want that I’m happy I took the time to take this course Really enjoyed listening. Setting reasonable and achievable goals for sharing custody! Good information about bigger picture type of interactions with your ex spouse. Being accountable for my part and moving forward not holding resentments, and to not let the dictate my relationship. I have done a few co-parenting classes now but I think this one will take me further than before. I am in recovery (15 years clean & sober) and I used a lot of these principles when I went through the 12 steps. Accountability, acceptance, courage, willingness, open-mindedness, patience, honesty, ect. I don’t know what my son’s father will do, but I do know who I want to show up as: my best self, in all occurrences. I felt like this course focused on healing the self in order to make a bridge to the other person. Good stuff. I would absolutely recommend. Gives different perspectives on the causes of the divorce and possible outcomes by your own actions and even your thinking that can lead to them .. shows you how to respect one another and work together. Really opened my eyes how to better coparent and communicate! These videos helped me to get over being angry towards my ex & instead focusing on how to move forward in a positive, healthy manner for ourselves and our children. One main issue for me was to give up on my wife being a lover and partner. Extremely excited in her becoming my best friend again. This class highlighted a lot of things I myself can change and do to be a more effective co parent with my ex husband! It’s so easy to point blame when your in the trenches going through it at the time, but I have to let the anger go and focus on what’s right in front of us! I didn’t think it caused harm to keep something from my spouse if it was something that was going to make the upset. Over time more and more is withheld and it creates cracks in the relationship. I felt justified in my reasoning but I understand now what part that played. The course helped to look at some things with a new perspective and great pointers to keep in mind as we are navigating this process. I had an aha moment when he said responsibility is not blame. I am responsible for my actions but I am not to blame. It was good and helpful hope it was for her as well I was really stuck on blaming everyone else and this helped me realize the flaws that I made as well. Co parents must be honest with each other and each have the child’s best interest in mind.Understand each other's parenting styles
