Helping Kids Cope…Tonight on “Co-Parenting Matters”
November 8, 2009 by Talibah Mbonisi
Tonight at 9:30 PM EST on our Co-Parenting Matters show “Helping Kids Cope”, on BlogTalk Radio, we’ll be joined by Carolyn Grona, a grown up child of divorce and the founder of TheGrownUpChild.ca, a site “for the grown up child of divorce – a practical guide and place to rant.” We’ll talk about the impact that parental conflict has on children and some strategies for easing the experience of divorce, separation, and two household living on kids. In addition to our friend and co-host Deesha Philyaw of CoParenting101.org, we’ll also be joined by parenting coordinator and mental health counselor Brooke Randolph.
Check out this recent interview that CoParenting101 did with Carolyn. In Part I she reflects on her experiences as a child of divorce. She talks about the impact of her parents’ remarriages; how her experience as a child of divorce influences her relationship and parenting experiences; and why kids don’t want to hear the gory details of their parents’ break up. In Part II, Carolyn talks very candidly about things her parents did well in the wake of their break-up; things she wishes they’d done differently; and her fears as a child of divorce. She also offers advice to co-parents and children of divorce.
