True and faithful guidanceBy SheriThank goodness for Karen and her commitment to educating us all on the importance of a healthy co parenting relationship, it's impact on our children and how to get there from here. She has been my personal mentor for over 20 years and I would literally not be who I am as a parent today without her wisdom and support.

Excellent informative bookBy LeeI am newly divorced and trying to navigate the coparenting relationship with 4 small kids. Other reviewers state that this book helps tremendously if both parents are willing to cooperate and I couldn't agree more, sadly that is not the case I have presently but the book is still extremely helpful to me. It reassures me and guides me to being a good parent and one that my children need. I think taking away one valuable piece of information is a win win situation. Being newly divorced and not knowing many people who are, this book is guiding me on my part, what I can do to help my kids, what to expect as they grow and what children need which is love, reassurance and protection from an adult situation that should remain btw two adults. AS U can tell by the table of contents the author is very informative and covers a wide range of topics of just starting in the process of separating to dealing with a partner who finds another companion etc.I am not even halfway through and I am thrilled that I found this book, maybe one day I can share this book with my ex but if not this book is something i can reread as a reminder of what my children need from a parent
