Co-Parenting Worksheets for Divorce, Two Homes Kids Activity, Teen Coping, Communication Plan, Therapy PDF

Seller's description

Divorce changes a family's shape, but kids still need parents who work as a team. This co-parenting set gives parents a practical plan for calmer communication and steadier hand-offs, and gives kids and teens a safe place to sort out big feelings about life in two homes. Made by the team at Paris Counseling, a multi-location behavioral health practice.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
- CoParenting-Parents.pdf: Parents (5 pages) - putting kids first, a communication plan (channels, response times, topics), the KIDS Check for short, neutral, firm messages, a keep-kids-out-of-the-middle checklist, a two-homes rules table, transition-day routines, and parent self-care
- CoParenting-Kids.pdf: Kids K-5th (3 pages) - drawing my two homes, "It's Not My Fault" cut-out cards, feelings about changes, what helps me at hand-offs, my people in each home, and a two-week "My Week" calendar
- CoParenting-Teens.pdf: Teens (3 pages) - mixed loyalties and "not my job" list, voicing schedule preferences, stress check and resets, six conversation scripts, and a plan-the-conversation table

HOW TO USE
Use the parent pages in individual, co-parenting, or divorce-adjustment sessions, or as homework between sessions.
