I want to address a wonderful tool for conflict reduction in co-parenting. It’s for those struggling with co-parenting communication, those who feel like your ex isn’t listening, and those who fear your children are caught in the crossfire.
As a divorce coach, I hear harrowing stories of conflict between co-parents. And, I know that protecting your kids is your top priority. During my own divorce, I faced these challenges daily. In my journey to support parents, I discovered a one of a kind program, BeH2O™, which is designed for conflict reduction in co-parenting.
When Trina Nudson, the visionary behind BeH2O™, offered me the opportunity to become a certified coach, I was intrigued. Initially skeptical about how feuding co-parents could transform their communication, I dug into the philosophy of the program and saw how different it was than anything else I had encountered. I was convinced. This approach is not co-parent counseling; it is completely different. The BeH2O™ experience uniquely blends theory with practice, all to safeguard the well-being of children.
Safeguarding Childhoods
What does it mean to safeguard childhoods? It means allowing kids to be kids—free from conflict and adult disagreements. That’s what we all want as parents, for our children to know we love them not just by our words, but by our deeds. When you commit to reduce stress and tension in your co-parent relationship, you reassure your children that they are loved and that your disputes are not more important to you than they are.
A New Approach to Co-Parenting—and Life
BeH2O™ transcends traditional parenting advice by fostering a mindset shift applicable in both personal and professional realms. Through joint participation, co-parents learn to approach challenges with a new perspective. You learn how to reframe disagreements and take intentional steps toward a healthier co-parenting dynamic. Your children will notice.
The Business Approach
When you shift from married to unmarried, your job as parents shifts. Now, you are in the business of raising your children. When you continue to live out your emotional struggles through your children, everyone suffers. How can you do it differently? Approach co-parenting as a business partnership. BeH2O™ weaves business principles into its framework, guiding co-parents to become effective partners in raising their children. This is not another version of co-parenting therapy. It’s a whole different animal.
Step One: Discover Your “Why”
Business leader Simon Sinek writes, Start with “Why.” When you start with your “Why”, you Identify the deeper purpose behind your parenting choices. This clarity will guide all your interactions, fostering a deeper sense of fulfillment and focus.
Step Two: Remodel Communication Patterns
When you learn and master effective communication techniques focused on your child’s needs, you can begin to navigate emotional triggers and find common ground.
Step Three: Develop an Outward Mindset
Shift your mindset and practice “strategic empathy” to understand your co-parent and children better. Looking outside yourself and stepping into the shoes of your co-parent and your children moves you from conflict to connection.
Step Four: Engage in Mindfulness
You are guided through visualization, internalization and realization meditations as well as journaling and sound therapy. Integrating these techniques into the reframe may be the most impactful experience for our families. They may never have paused long enough to take a beat. This is the moment to sit in calm and reclaim your inner strength. Mindful practices lead to awareness that may have been inaccessible before.
With BeH2O™, you’ll feel empowered, transformed, and inspired. Hundreds of co-parents have committed to these principles, and are living a different life. They and their children are thriving. That’s what BeH2O wants for you.
