Co-parenting. In the divorce world, it feels like a buzz word. Almost everyone wants to be co-parenting or thinks that they are co-parenting. It appears that many think that if they are co-parenting it is inherently positive; however, there are several different styles of co-parenting that develop after divorce and they often reflect the type of marriage and/or divorce you had. Positive co-parenting in its lived reality is relatively rare sadly and may not always be recommended (or possible) given the circumstances. Types of Co-parenting. Researchers have identified three major types of post-divorce co-parental relationships: 1) parallel parenting, which is the most common (occurring more than 50% of the time), 2) conflicted co-parenting, and 3) cooperative co-parenting (both of which occur around 25% of the time). Parents engaged in parallel parenting tend to have low conflict and communication, be emotionally disengaged from one another, and have little coordination of childrearing issues with each parent operating in their own domain. Basically, each household operates independently and there may or may not be consistency for the children between homes. If there is — it is purely chance since the parents are not actively discussing it. Conflicted co-parenting is …. you guessed it … characterized by frequent conflict as well as poor communication and failure of one or both former partners to disengage emotionally (or are emotionally reactive). This style may be most harmful to children since research shows that it is the level of conflict in the family that contributes to negative outcomes for children (and not whether your family is intact or divorced). The holy grail of all co-parental relationships is cooperative co-parenting, which is the most advantageous for children and is characterized by joint planning, coordination and some flexibility in parenting schedules, and offers of parental support to each other. It is conflict-free and involves the ability of the parents to resolve differences on their own or with mediators or therapists. This type of co-parenting helps promote resiliency in children affected by divorce. Developing better co-parenting relationships. Before you can improve your co-parenting relationship, you need to determine which type of co-parental relationship you have, which type you want, and which type is possible for your situation. While cooperative co-parenting is the gold standard, oftentimes it is not possible or recommended for many reasons. Perhaps because one or more of the parents is not interested in or able to change how they interact or there is active substance abuse-–just to name a few examples. Whatever your current style is though, there is usually room for improvement and participating in therapy is one way in which co-parents can work toward improving communication, lowering conflict, and developing healthier ways and means to interact in order to reduce the negative effects on their children. If you are currently separating or divorcing, then consider uncoupling therapy so you can process and address co-parenting and other issues that occur when marriages and committed relationships dissolve and set the stage for a more cooperative co-parenting relationship.

That’s not an easy question to answer — even the experts in the field of gifted and talented education disagree on exactly what giftedness is. Some believe that giftedness is the development of any talent. Others believe it should be restricted to the academic realm. Still others feel that giftedness is development in children that is not typical for their chronological age. To make things even more difficult, there exists a range of giftedness. Mildly gifted children learn faster than most of their same-age peers, know numbers and letters early, and are good talkers by age 3. Moderately gifted children love being read to at a very early age and know when to turn the page. By age 2, they know many letters and colors. They ask questions until they drive you crazy. Children who are highly or exceptionally gifted do things even earlier and faster. Although there are no standard IQ levels of intellectual giftedness, some experts suggest the following IQ ranges:

Mildly gifted: 115 to 129

Moderately gifted: 130 to 144

ighly gifted: 145 to 159

Exceptionally gifted: 160 +

But it’s important to note that success in life comes from perseverance and resilience and from having support and love for who you are, not a high IQ. In addition, all children have gifts, and they tend to unwrap those gifts at different times, so love and enjoy your child as she is, and prize each new accomplishment.
