Tired of arguing about your kids?
Constantly bickering about who pays for what?
Wonder how it's affecting your kids?
If you want peace, and piece of mind, you need a Parenting Plan...
A Parenting Plan - For you, your children & the future.
Hi, I'm Charly Caldwell II, a divorced, and happily remarried, parent of two absolutely amazing girls...
As the girls and I were playing at a playground about two years ago, I watched them really enjoy repeatedly sliding down a red plastic slide, and at that very moment, realized something incredibly important about being a parent --
The only thing we really leave in this world, after everything else is said and done, is our children.
With that in mind, I started brainstormed things I needed to do to assure they were taken care of now, and more importantly, in the future. I realized I need some sort of plan. I hit the Internet, local book stores, and talked, many times, with a great, and very inspiring, child therapist (thank you Denise!)
Also, at that point in my life - like so many others - I found myself continually feeling stressed & frustrated when I had to interact with the girls' mom.
Issues like these were the source of constant stress and frustration:
- Changing when I wanted to be with the girls.
- Who paid for dance classes (and the leotards, dance shoes, recital costumes, etc).
- What they were supposed to eat?
- Who, exactly, was an acceptable babysitter for them (and what was the screening process? That scared me a lot!)
- How were we going to handle the holidays?
- And a BIG one for me -- Getting told what I could, and couldn't, do with the girls!
My BIGGEST concern was seeing how that stress & frustration, between their mom and I, was DIRECTLY affecting our girls!
I felt like: "They didn't ask for this additional stress in their lives, and they most certainly don't deserve it!"
I knew there had to be a better way, I was on a mission to find it, and finally ended up creating my own plan. After many revisions and additions, I decided to make it available on the Web in two versions:
- Parenting Plan for Separated, or Divorced Parents, and
- Parenting Plan for Parents & Step-Parents.
I really hope my parenting plan will help you, like it has me, provide peace for you and your children.
Most importantly, I hope it provides the best foundation for your children to excel in all that they do & want to do, both now, and in the future.
As always, if you ever have a question, or concern, please feel free to contact me.
- Charly
There are two versions of the Parenting Plan --
> For Separated or Divorced Parents
Ted and Sally are a recently separated couple, and very proud parents of Sydney, 8.
Although Ted and Sally realize they don't see eye to eye on a lot of things, they are quickly finding out that raising Sydney apart is even more difficult than raising her together.
They are running into the typical issues of sharing Sydney between two homes, splitting Sydney's expenses, and creating an environment for her to excel - now, and in the future.
Honestly, they just want something that solves these issues so they can get on with their lives, and try to be the best parents they can be.
Ted and Sally purchased the Parenting Plan for Separated or Divorced Parents.
> For Parents and Step-Parents
Jeff and Liz are the parents of two absolutely incredible daughters, Zoe, 6, and Olivia, 4. Jeff and Liz got divorced over 3 years ago, and both since gotten remarried.
Zoe and Olivia now have a step mom, Amy, who married their dad, Jeff, and a step dad, Tom, who married their mom, Liz.
Collectively, Jeff, Liz, Tom, and Amy have decided they need a plan that assures Zoe and Olivia are raised in a consistent way in their two households. And most importantly, those two incredible girls have a plan, created by those who love & deeply care for them, for their future.
