Putting Kids First in Divorce: A Guide for Parents
By Sara Freed · February 22, 2016 
What does it mean to put children first during divorce?
Putting children first means reducing conflict around them, protecting stable routines, supporting safe parental relationships, and keeping children out of adult roles, messages, and decisions.
Today’s the day!
After a ton of hard work, I’m happy to announce that the book I co-authored, Putting Kids First in Divorce: How to Reduce Conflict, Preserve Relationships, and Protect Your Children During and After a Divorce, is now available on Amazon.
Eleven divorce, co-parenting, and relationship professionals – including myself – have come together to write individual chapters to help parents deal with divorce while protecting their children through this emotional time.
My chapter, “How to Work on Your Marriage When It No Longer Works,” focuses on the relationship itself. I offer strategies for couples that include how to:
- Build or rebuild your marriage
- Achieve healing and forgiveness
- Manage conflict and protect your children
- Find the right relationship coach for you
I have worked with numerous couples – often as a last resort – heading towards divorce. And while divorce may be the right choice for some, it’s not your only choice. Struggling marriages can become strong, happy marriages if both spouses are willing to put forth the effort to change and really save their marriage – and their family.
And for those who have already divorced but are in a new relationship, you may find yourself encountering the same problems that caused your marriage to fail. This chapter will provide you with insight into how to turn things around and build a strong, happy second marriage.
In its first day of release, Putting Kids First became an official Amazon #1 Best-Selling Book in Divorce & Separation! We were the #2 Best-Selling Book in Family Law and Family & Health Law, as well as topping the best-selling charts in Divorce, Law, Family & Relationships, and Parenting & Relationships.
People are really taking to our heartfelt message. Now I want to share that message with you, my dear readers. If you are contemplating or going through a divorce, this book will provide you with the insight, wisdom, and support you need to help you get through this difficult time. We understand what you’re going through, and we want you to know that you’re not alone!
