My Parents Work Together (And That Helps)

A Journal for Kids Whose Co-Parents Are Doing It Right

Even when co-parents do everything right, the child in two homes still has feelings worth naming on paper.

This is for:

For the child whose co-parents are cooperating well who still has feelings worth naming.

The Name It First Experience

Even when the adults are doing everything right — cooperating, communicating, keeping the children out of it — the child in two homes still has an experience worth naming. My Parents Work Together gives the child ages 5 to 12 whose co-parents are doing this well a journal for noticing and naming their own experience: what is working, what is hard anyway, what they appreciate, and what they notice that nobody has thought to ask — because being okay is not the same as having nothing to say. This journal is for the child who is assumed to be fine and has feelings worth putting on paper anyway — and for the co-parent who wants to give them the page. A Journal for Kids Whose Co-Parents Are Doing It Right names the experience the child is having — even when the adults are proud of themselves for making it easier.

You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
