Parents who are divorcing or  living in separate residences often struggle to find balance between parenting styles.  This seminar helps them gain insight into their children’s developmental needs and learn co-parenting skills.  Being a parent isn’t easy, yet knowledge & support from family coaches can make a lifetime of difference for families.
