The four key behavioural skills focussed on are:

Managing Emotions

  • Controlling anger, sadness, fear, and anxiety so as not to over-react
  • Protecting children from a parent’s extreme emotions

Flexible Thinking

  • Acknowledging there being more than solution to a problem
  • Turning complaints into proposals for future behaviour and agreements

Moderating Behaviour

  • Avoiding extreme actions, language and parenting requests
  • Responding to hostile communications in a way that avoids conflict

Checking Yourself

  • Reminding yourself to use these skills in times of stress
  • Developing empathy, attention and respect

Receive one-to-one professional coaching to support your learning journey.

The course features information, videos and role play, as well as a personal journal where learners can document their journey. It provides a skills-based, “no blame, no shame” online educational program for parents in divorce or separation who could benefit from learning new communication, emotion management, and problem-solving skills.

New Ways For Families is not mediation. Even if both parents sign up they will be allocated a different coach. It’s not legal advice. The training promotes greater levels of respect, empathy and attention from its learners. The primary goal is to teach parents the skills necessary to effectively resolve co-parenting disagreements while remaining calm and protecting their children from the conflict. The course may be voluntary, recommended, or mandated by courts or other professionals.
