Disagreements between parents on how to approach the task of parenting are expected. Ongoing, unresolved conflict over these disagreements can become toxic, to the point of potentially doing serious, long-term damage to kids. This book provides a roadmap for parents in managing this conflict. The guidepost for this roadmap is effective communication. It provides important areas of skill development to include:

• Understanding Parental Conflict
• Communication Styles and Conflict Resolution
• Recognizing Communication Patterns
• Building a Foundation of Effective Communication

Grasping and embracing these skills will enable parents to get on the same page in their parenting approach, minimize conflict, and develop healthy approaches as they navigate the parenting journey together.
