Secrets and Principles of Effective Co-Parenting

When parents separate, divorce, or live in two different homes, children often carry feelings they do not know how to explain.

They may love both parents deeply, yet feel caught in the middle. They may worry about hurting one parent’s feelings. They may feel pressured to choose sides, even when no one directly asks them to. And sometimes, the words, tension, or behaviors between parents can quietly affect a child’s confidence, self-esteem, and emotional security.

Mom, Dad; What About Me?! was written to help parents pause, reflect, and see co-parenting through the eyes of the child.

This book offers a child-centered perspective on what children may experience when their parents are no longer together, and how parents can make intentional choices that protect their child’s emotional well-being.

Inside these pages, parents will find guidance on:

*Understanding how children may feel caught between two parents.
*Recognizing how adult conflict can affect a child’s confidence and emotional safety.
*Supporting a child’s need to love both parents without guilt.
*Communicating in ways that keep the child’s needs at the center.
*Creating a healthier co-parenting environment, even when the relationship between the parents is difficult.

Although this book was written for parents who are no longer together, many readers have shared that its guidance is also meaningful for parents who are still together. The child-centered message encourages every parent to consider how everyday communication, tension, and emotions are experienced by the child.

No matter the family structure, the heart of this book remains the same:

Help the child feel emotionally safe, supported, loved, and whole.
