Well organized, good illustrations
Many greatly important details about parenting through divorce are explained in this course. Awareness of different parenting scenarios as well as recommended responses while going through divorce is crucial.
Very helpful and informative.
ALWAYS HELPFUL TO BE REMINDED OF THE NUANCES OF DIVORCE FOR PARENTS AND CHILDREN
This was very informative and unfortunately many parents do not adhere to what is necessary to protect their children. That is why this course was extremely important as it teaches mediators how to deal with these situations to protect children who could be scarred if not handled appropriately.
