One of the biggest hurdles you'll face as a co-parent is addressing your children's behavior as a united front.... Discover exactly how to do it like experts:

Over 36 percent of marriages end in divorce–and that’s healthy. When a relationship is no longer working, it’s best for both the adults and the kids if Mom and Dad go their separate ways.

Getting divorced is never easy, though, and when you have kids, it gets a whole lot harder. The problem you face is that you’re divorcing your partner–you’re not divorcing your kids–so your extra challenge is going your separate ways while still keeping your parenting team strong.

That’s where co-parenting comes in…and it’s only as difficult as you allow it to be.

With a rising amount of celebrities shining a light on how it can be done (think Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, or Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony), you might wonder if you and your ex have it in you to remain a formidable parenting unit while you’re living two separate lives.

You absolutely do. All you need is the knowledge you have already–that your child’s needs come first…plus some handy strategies to help you navigate the hurdles you’ll bump into along the way.

That’s exactly what you’ll find in this comprehensive guide to co-parenting–complete with essential disciplining strategies for managing those tough moments. Inside, you’ll discover:

• How to approach your divorce–with a clear idea of where you want to be and how to be the best for your children every step of the way
• "Divorce grief"–what to expect, and how to navigate it
• How to start with a clean slate and move forward with positive communication–and why this is so important
• Boundaries, scheduling, and rules–how to build a fool-proof co-parenting strategy
• A deeper understanding of what your kids are going through as you and your ex find your way through your divorce
• Why it’s okay to feel angry–and how to handle it gracefully
