For generations, parents have struggled with incorporating their individual parenting styles, values, morals, and perspectives into raising a family. When two parents have opposing parenting styles, the result can be a child who learns how to be effective and resourceful in her utilization of her parents (to their dismay). We may call these children manipulative, devious, or conniving, but the fact is that they have been conditioned by their environment to turn towards one parent over the other. It is especially relevant in a day and age where many children are being raised in dual family homes and the issues of transitioning between the parents becomes front and center.

In co-parenting sessions, we address the differences in parenting styles that interfere with a productive, unified family. I assist families in learning how to blend their perspectives and use their differences to their advantage.
