Cooperative Co-Parenting for Secure Kids

Synopsis

Discover how attachment theory can help you better understand yourself and your ex, improve your coparenting skills, and raise happy, emotionally secure kids!If you're like most parents, you want—more than anything—for your child to feel safe, loved, and confident that their needs will be met. However, this can be difficult when you're sharing custody with an ex. Instead of working together, you may feel at war with one another, and in the end, nobody wins—especially your child. So, how can you ensure that you and your ex are on the same page when it comes to coparenting?With this unique and highly practical guide, you'll learn the science of attachment theory, and how to apply it to your coparenting relationship. Secure attachment refers to the bond between a parent and young child, which gives that child a stable and secure basis from which to negotiate life going forward. A child with a secure base can weather the storms of trauma and life changes—such as those caused by divorce—much more easily than a child who doesn't. Coparents who understand this principle have a significant advantage, because they can learn how to provide secure attachment for their child, even while no longer living under the same roof.
