The Putting Kids First Co Parenting Class creates an opportunity for parents and family members to shift their attention from the personal aspects of divorce to the needs of their children. By using a psychoeducational approach, the Co Parenting Class focuses on the enhancement of the children’s ability to function within their families, improve the parental relationship, and impress upon parents their critical role in helping their children to adjust through coparenting skills learned within the class.

Putting Kids First knows the importance of protecting children’s innocence while continuing to provide for their development. Through our Co Parenting Class, Putting Kids First works to strengthen families by providing adults the skills to maintain a much more effective relationship that will provide a nurturing, non-threatening environment for their children. When families do break up parents need to learn how to help their child adjust to the changes in their lives. The Co Parenting Class is suited for all parents, grandparents, step-parents, or others that directly or indirectly influence decisions about children.
