TransParenting

(formerly Children Cope With Divorce)

Gateway's TransParenting program is a four hour educational program for divorcing parents of minor children.

Research indicates that effects of divorce on children can be negative and potentially long term. Children must master an additional set of tasks, as well as those posed by normal childhood development. This seminar seeks to educate parents as to ways they can help their children adjust and handle these additional tasks. Parents are given an opportunity to shift their attentions from the personal aspects of divorce to the needs of their children.

Topics include:

Typical reactions of children
Skills that help children cope
Visitation issues
Establishing a co-parenting relationship
Talking to your children about the divorce
How to avoid problems commonly associated with divorce
