Our Co-parenting workshop explores the complexities of co-parenting by focusing on understanding how to share raising children in two different homes.
This training will help parents to understand the nuts and bolts of co-parenting. We try to focus on the best interest of the child, which is to have a connection with both parents, irrespective if the parents get along or not.
Co-parenting means sharing parenting responsibilities between two parental figures which is often an ex-spouse/partner.
It may also extend to mother/grandmother pair or between parent and extended family members. Co-parents may live together or separately.
Clients of TPC who have been through a parenting, fatherhood or co-parenting workshop, feel better equipped to steer through the choppy uncertain waters of co-parenting.
To assist with better planning, we have two training options for parents.

Testimonials
The Parent Centre’s programs and services have had a profound impact on my life and my relationship with my daughter. I’ve become a more engaged, proactive, and a positive parent. We have already started to see improvement in our co-parenting relationship, which has been incredibly beneficial for our daughter. Having both parents play an active role in their children’s daily lives and retaining a close relationship with both parents is the best way to ensure that all children’s’ needs are met. The quality of the relationship between co-parents can have a strong influence on the mental and emotional well-being of children, the better the co-parenting relationship, the better off the children are.
I was surprised by how creative and insightful the training was and how many other parents alike were able to relate to similar experiences and challenges. I would recommend this training to every parent. The tools inherent in this training is very simple and practical.
It was very interesting and very informative. The training gave me a lot of hope that one day I will be able to have a good co-parenting relationship with my ex-husband. I do believe that this kind of workshop will assist a lot of parents who are co-parenting at the moment or who are about to start on that journey. I wish that I had this information while I was still married, it might have mitigated a lot of issues back then as well. It takes two to tango and both have to play a role in parenting their children well.
The information on living in two worlds was an eye opening. I realised that when divorce takes place between parents, the children have to split their lives into two parts. They have to manage living in two worlds. The training gives tips for making living in two worlds easier for the children.
