VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Jan. 16, 2015 - PRLog -- Perhaps because couples put off relationship decisions until after the holidays, traditionally, January sees more divorce filings than any other month of the year. That is why January is commemorated as International Child-Centered Divorce Month.

The entire month is set aside for forums, discussions, panels, and presentations designed to teach parents the skills that they need to raise happy and successful children even though they may no longer be a couple. Learning effective communication skills, how to navigate through misunderstandings, financial difficulties, and inconvenient scheduling issues is at the heart of what International Child-Centered Divorce Month is all about.

"Parental decisions about divorce can affect and scar children—for years—and often for a lifetime," announced Child-Centered Divorce Network Founder, Rosalind Sedacca. "We want to tell divorcing parents: Regardless of your own emotional state, it is essential to put your children’s needs first when making decisions related to divorce or separation!"

"We are honored to be supported by http://coparently.com,” Sedacca added. “This online scheduling tool helps keep kids out of the middle and reduces co-parenting conflict. It simplifies managing your children’s busy schedule from separate homes without feeling overwhelmed."

As such, it makes sense that coparently supports the important goals of International Child-Centered Divorce Month. coparently was built on the passionate belief that kids deserve to have a loving relationship with both parents even though they are no longer living under the same roof. Its founders understand that trying to coordinate busy schedules from two separate homes can be a complete and utter nightmare—even with the best co-parenting skills in the world.

"Our mission is to give you the tools you need to successfully organize and manage your shared parenting arrangements while simultaneously putting the needs of your children first," said Hanif Virani, CEO, coparently.com.

Successful co-parenting means tangible benefits for the children involved. During a parental separation, kids are often confused by the changes, and left wondering what they did wrong and if they are somehow to blame for the adjustments that are going on in their households. Co-parenting is a great way to reassure them that both parents still love them dearly and plan on being a major part of their lives.

Letting your children know that nothing has changed regarding your love towards them is the best thing you can do for your child. Successful co-parenting has been proven to provide a greater sense of stability for kids, and less pressure to conform to the emotional needs of their parents during these stressful times. The result is a stronger bond with each parent and minimal feelings of being torn between the two parents.
