GEAR Up for Co-Parenting
Generational Education Aiding Resiliance
G.E.A.R. Up for Co-Parenting is a co-parenting presentation presented by the Wexford/Missaukee Friend of the Court to help parents learn how to co-parent while putting their children first and not in the middle. This three-session presentation helps parents learn how to best navigate the ins and outs of co-parenting from two different homes by minimizing the negative aspects for everyone involved and building the foundation for a strong future, for both the parents and the children.
The first session looks at the law and how adverse childhood experiences (or ACEs) can affect you and how you parent your children. The second session looks at how to co-parent with a focus on communication and how separation or divorce effects your children. The third session talks about various issues, such as distracted parenting, parental alienation, introducing a significant other to your children, and other issues that affect co-parenting and your children.
All sessions are at 8:30 am and 4:00 pm at the Friend of the Court office, 401 N. Lake Street, in Cadillac–beginning in May, the 4:00 pm session will be offered at 5:30 pm. If you have any questions or would like to sign up for the next G.E.A.R. Up for Co-Parenting session, you may call 231-779-9494 and speak to Dave Swanson at extension 2005. You can also check times and dates for upcoming G.E.A.R. Up sessions at our Facebook page.
