Are you an expert who believes in the power of co-parenting just as much as I do?
I love collaborating with experts & referring them to my private clients. Read below first to see if we would be a good fit to partner in the mission of supporting co-parents & their children as they go through difficult life transitions (like divorce).
Here is what I know to be true.
When kids see their parents divorce, they see love as conditional and able to end. They begin to worry. If Mom can stop loving Dad (or vice versa), will they stop loving me too?
When parents divorce, there is often conflict and disagreements around things related to the children. When children become aware of this (which happens every time a parent says anything less than positive about the other or indicates that there is an issue because of that parent) children begin to see themselves as the problem.
It stresses kids out when parents fight, don’t speak, or sit at opposite corners of the room at recitals – these little things really matter.
The best time for parents to work on their plan to co-parent effectively is before they talk to the kids about the divorce.
Because when kids hear their parents are getting divorced, it scares them. They will have a lot of concerns. What will this new life look like? How will it change their life?
When parents have a plan in place, they let the kids know exactly what is going to be different and what that looks like (as much as possible)!
Which parent is moving out?
Where will they live?
What will the bedrooms be like there?
What about your bedroom do we need to keep the same in the new house?
What needs are there?
Children are mostly concerned with “what is going to happen to them.” But they want to know that they will be taken care of and they need stability & structure. And it’s the parents’ job to reassure the children that they are going to have everything they need – from both parents.
This is exactly where I come in.
I’m Rebecca. CDC-certified divorce coach, family & divorce mediator, co-parenting specialist, & a child of divorce.
If you’ve read my story, you already know I’m a deep believer in the transformative powers of positive co-parenting. I believe relationships can be redefined for the sake of the children and to keep families together – even when mom & dad obviously aren’t married anymore.
However, I’ll be the first one to admit that private clients could benefit from other professionals whose expertise falls outside that of mine. Sometimes in addition to my services, they could benefit immensely from access to vetted pros like:
Divorce Counselors
Marriage Therapists
Family Therapists
Divorce Coaches
Divorce Mediators
Collaborative Law Professionals
Child Therapists
… assuming that you also believe as I do in co-parenting, restructuring families, surviving divorce, & making the kids the #1 priority.
YOU SHOULD ALSO KNOW
I choose to partner with those who can agree that co-parenting is challenging but important for families.
I know that co-parenting can be tough! I wish it was a cakewalk for all of my clients, but we’re all only human. But if you see the benefits of co-parenting in your field and want to see more of it, we might just be a good fit!
And if it’s not obvious already, you would be an invaluable resource to my clients when they need such a pro in their arsenal. Meaning, you and I have a lot to talk about — like working together in the media, serving our clients in different collaborative ways, or simply supporting each other in the online space.
But before we have that conversation, let me get into how you know if I’m a good fit for your clients.
I’m a great fit for supporting your clients if…
You work with couples who are working on making the decision to continue as a married couple or to divorce. Meaning, these couples are already in a space of working together to make the decision that is best for their family.
They are deciding to end the marriage, mutually. You see, when one person makes the decision to leave the marriage (often surprising their spouse), the journey through the anger and resentment for the spouse who left can be very long and painful.
The process of mediation requires that both parents share the intention to work through the planning process with the best interest of the children at the center. And this is exactly where I fit in with my private coaching & child-centered co-parenting plans.
With my coaching, your clients can get the exact steps on where to start with co-parenting, avoid mistakes along the way, and release the fear of the negative impact the divorce may have on the children. This is perfect for individuals or couples who are thinking about divorce, are seperated, or just started the divorce process but are unsure where to start.
With my custom child-centered co-parenting plans, your clients can get the roadmap to staying a family by gaining support in transitioning to a two-household family, setting boundaries for basic & complex issues, and making smart decisions concerning the well-being of their children.
*All of my services are customize for each client to meet families exactly where they are.
If the language makes sense & you feel your clients could benefit from what I offer while knowing my clients could benefit from what you offer, I’d love to open up the conversation.
