Who is eligible for these courses?
One Heart, Two Homes© co-parenting course serves all parents in the Fresno County area. We are here to serve parent who are in all stages of conflict; whether low or high conflict; whether voluntary or court ordered. Some of the conflict can included the following dynamics:
- High conflict divorce
- Co-parents newly separated or divorced
- Long-time co-parents who are stuck in a difficult dynamic
- Those who were never married
- Those who frequently appeal to the Family Court because they are unable to solve their co-parenting challenges.
What is the difference between Co-parenting class and parenting class?
Healthy co-parenting is for those parents who can problem solve together in the best interest of the child, even though they are no longer in a relationship and no longer live together. If you are having difficulty co-parenting, then you would take the One Heart, Two Homes Co-parenting class.
Parenting classes are educational courses that teach parents general parenting skills, and help them develop and maintain positive relationships with their children. If you are having difficulty parenting your infant, toddler, or adolescent child then the Parenting Wisely parenting class would be the appropriate course for you.
