The Co-Parenting Survival Guide April 27, 2010

This is one of the best books written about how a co-parenting relationship works, and why it is so important for children. We recommend this book to nearly every parent who comes to the Kids First Center for guidance. This book talks about how parents sometimes become addicted to conflict and that it is not necessarily divorce that hurts kids, it's continued conflict.
If you are a parent going through divorce, or a professional who works with these parents, buy this book. And if you really want to know how the kids are feeling buy Kids First: What Kids Want Grown-ups to Know about Separation & Divorce.

I think this a book well written to appeal to parents that really want the best for their kids, but have problems getting past their own anger and agenda. It's also done in a strong, but not admonishing tone that certainly connected with me.
I found the sample eMail exchanges in the book to be frighteningly familiar. It was almost as if someone had eavesdropped into some of my conversations with my kids' mom. It made me realize this is a common problem and also how silly some of that 'exchange' was by seeing someone else do it.
I also found that our conflict issues were no where near as bad as they can get in others. At least I felt good that our conflicts were petty and easier to resolve.
You also don't have to have both parents read the book - although it would help. I was the only one that read it - actually prior to a co-parenting mediation session - and it really put me into a very constructive frame of mind that focused on our kids rather than 'being right'. It really helped us resolve some conflicts we were having in just a couple sessions.
Great book, if nothing else to put the reader in a good place from which to operate in the best interests of the kids.
Really excellent! March 11, 2009

I purchased this book for my daughter who is going through a divorce, but I read it first.
The book focuses on how to help the children by learning how to communicate with the other parent. It is written in a logical and easy to understand manner....it all makes so much sense to learn to handle matters by making the welfare of the children the number one priority. I am recommending this book to all friends who are in the same situation with divorce.

I have never received the books. I tried to track them down but was told the USPS does not have a tracking procedure. Please let me know what I can do.
Great Book! December 10, 2008

I bought this along with Divorce Casualties: Protecting Your Children From Parental Alienation and both have been a great help to my husband!! I would reccomend both to any one who has gone through a bitter divorce and who struggle with the threats and bitterness of an X where children are involved. It has taught my husband a lot and has helped him to deal with letting go of his anger and other issues.
