Are you forced to deal with the crazy ex so you can take care of your kids, but co-parenting is impossible?
Dealing with the toxic ex because of the kids and feel like things are worse than before?
This book will give you the information you need to co-parent or parallel parent your kids
About the Book
Are you co-parenting with a jerk?
If coparenting isn’t working and your parenting plan is constantly not being followed, learn about parallel parenting as part of the parenting plan
Co-parenting books talk about just that, co-parenting. This form of dealing with the other parent while trying to agree with the children’s visitation schedule and a parenting plan doesn’t always work, especially if you are dealing with a narcissist or a borderline personality disorder.
You and your kids may be better off with parallel parenting. A parallel parenting plan is similar to co-parenting, but it can actually be more beneficial for everyone, except the controlling ex. Your kids don’t want their lives disrupted, and Co-parenting vs. Parallel parenting discusses how the ex can actually use co-parenting against you and the kids.
Parallel parenting is a newer form of parenting that divorced couples can use after divorce. It takes some manipulative power away from a controlling parent. Most find that parallel parenting can reduce the stress and worry that co-parenting seems to cause.
You will learn:
- how parallel parenting relieves stress – yours and the kids
- why parallel parenting can stop the other parent from derailing schedules
- the tools that make parallel parenting easy to manage
- how the kids are affected if co-parenting isn’t working
- the skills you need to effectively co-parent or parallel parent
This parenting book can help with the strategies you need
Endorsements
Co-Parenting is a practical survival guide for divorced parents, structured around similar but crucially different concepts of ‘co-parenting’ and ‘parallel parenting’ - the former involving face-to- face contact, the latter requiring solely written or email contact. The book primarily advises on maintaining a sense of security for children within a shared custody arrangement. It also discusses the possible long-term effects that loss of this security may have on a child, through anecdotal experiences. Written from the perspective of an American parent, it offers less harmful methods of communicating with an ex-spouse, while acknowledging what is often an emotionally fraught process. Though the author refers to a calendar and journaling system of his own invention, the book largely avoids excessive salesmanship, instead, he offers viable, though imperfect alternatives. In addition, these methods provide inroads into sane shared finances and effective ways of conveying information to courts or lawyers. Overall, Co-Parenting is a compassionate, rational text, written in a straightforward, jargon-free style which is easy to follow and understand. Throughout, Co-Parenting emphasizes communication alongside conscientious record keeping, as an essential aid to parent and child welfare.

An interesting read for all those going through a family crisis. Having seen divorces and closely observed a few experiences in my own family, it feels like this is a handbook of what can otherwise be seen practically. It is very natural to see two peoples perspective in a divorce and then we tend to take sides. The book, however, gives the conveniently ignored perspective of the children that are involved in a family going through a divorce. All their dilemmas are highlighted along with proposals for practical solutions for the same. It then talks about the concept of co-parenting. We hear about so many custody battles and how little children can be shattered emotionally in the course of a divorce for no fault of their own. This notion has been logically opposed and it is interesting to understand how the child needs both the parents for a sense of calm and normalcy. Even though your ex might be toxic, you need to look out for the betterment of your child. It has drastically altered my take on this entire issue. A must-read for anyone who wants an insight into hands-on parenting skills. Fresh perspectives and word. A read worth the time!
