Custody battles are never fun, but now, on top of your
impending divorce, the judge has ordered you and your spouse to go through
court ordered parenting courses. You can choose to see this as an annoyance,
but both you and your children can greatly benefit from taking a court-approved parenting course through AIC. American Integrity Courses.
Visitation and custody rights may be limited if you do not complete the required
coursework, so it is very important that you get the most out of the course.
You will learn important parenting skills, including:
Discipline without
Anger
Developing age-appropriate discipline does not come easily to every parent. More difficult still is
learning to keep anger out of discipline. Anger-driven punishment does not help
your children develop, and can lead to a strained and difficult relationship
between you and your children. A parenting course can help you develop the
skills necessary to discipline your children in healthy ways.
How to Recognize
Your Strengths
These courses are not just about correcting unhealthy
parenting methods – they are also about recognizing the things you do well as a
parent. Learning to recognize your strengths will help you parent more
confidently. Your children will recognize your confidence, and in turn, will respond better to you as a parent.
Co-Parenting
Co-parenting is the most important thing to do for your
children after a divorce. Your kids need to have both parents present in their
lives. Working with your ex-spouse to parent
can be difficult if things did not end amicably, but it is a skill you must
learn. Keeping lines of communication open
between you and your ex is important for raising healthy children.
