The Center for
Divorce Education

Created by Dr. Don Gordon, Children in Between builds on 40 years of research in the area of divorce education, and presents skills training using best practices in adult education and behavior modeling. It focuses on teaching anger control and respectful communication to parents as a means of ending loyalty conflicts and lowering risk for children of divorce.

COURSE FOCUS ON CORE COMPETENCIES

Anger Control

​Parents who can control their anger are more likely to engage ex’s in a manner that is most likely to lead to amicable results and limit the effects of the separation on their children. By focusing on skills training, CIBO teaches conflict resolution, mindfulness, and self-talk.

Respectful Communication Skills

​Studies show that effective parenting after divorce is directly related to parents ability to respectfully communicate with one another. CIBO identifies 5 major ways to improve communication including:

  • I-Message
  • Reframing
  • Self-talk
  • Stop-Look-Listen
  • Active Listening

Ending Loyalty Conflicts

Loyalty conflicts cause the most damage to children. We focus on how parents involve their children in these conflicts unintentionally, and change that.

Cost effective for Courts and Consumers

The Center for Divorce Education offers cost-effective options for courts and consumers. Costs to manage face-to-face classes create overhead for courts, and the cost of attendance for parents is often a difficult barrier. Our online programs are proven to be just as or more effective than our skills-based in-person classes. Cost savings for courts include fewer contested hearings, and more payment of child support.

Covered in the Course

  • Money Problems
  • Carrying Messages
  • Put Downs
  • Questioning
  • Never Married Parents

Learn More

Through an online interactive format, parents learn effective skills that will immediately change the way they interact. Five scenarios are enacted and critiqued in streaming video. Participants then choose from realistic solutions and explore different ways of handling the conflicts. Each section includes in-depth tutorials, question and answer sessions, and a quiz to further engrain the new skills.
