It is important to realize not all post-divorce and shared parenting challenges last forever. Our
minds get fixed on our present problems and it feels like they will never end.
What if you could flip a switch like the tv remote and find the peace
you have been craving? What if you did not have to anticipate another verbal brawl with the children's
other household or your new spouse over the children's other parent or the children? That's right, we are going to give
you some important keys to succeed as parents raising kids who have mom, dad and possibly stepparents in two places.
From the pool of conference attendees, StepfamilySystems.com will
award a not-for-profit presentation of ACES: Stepfamily Focal Points to ten schools from
Ventura to San Diego counties during the 2010 - 2011 school year.
To the degree you can adjust well
to shared-parenting within your particular situation, you will feel more satisfied with your stepfamily
and shared-parenting lifestyle. Your ability to manage the quality of relationships after spending the day with
us can skyrocket! Research shows the better your post-divorce adjustment as parents [especially after remarriage
has occurred], the better the adjustment and well-being of your children, too.
In 1990, our Director of Stepfamily and Shared-Parenting Management Planning
began sowing for the harvest of "Ah-ha!" moments that have been running through Twitter and Facebook this year
about the secret to her 25 year marriage-in-step and the restored relationships of her original family. Give
all the children in and between divorced and remarried households the greatest opportunity to enter their classrooms ready
to learn and to enjoy being young, and enjoy
remarried life with children more by attending this reduced-tuition, pilot conference. Register today! http://stepfamilysystems.com/id47.html
