Meet Tio Jorge

At Successful Co-Parenting, we have a unique perspective on co-parenting that goes beyond the traditional definition. We believe that co-parenting is not just the responsibility of biological parents but also involves other grownups who share the vital role of raising children. We recognize that co-parenting can be a complex endeavor, akin to any profession or work, and we emphasize the importance of training and personal growth in this journey.

​

Collaboration Beyond Parents:
In our understanding of co-parenting, we embrace the idea that it takes a village to raise a child. We acknowledge the significant role that other adults, such as step-parents, grandparents, and caregivers, play in a child's life. Our approach encourages open communication and collaboration among all those involved in the child's upbringing, fostering a supportive and inclusive environment.

​

We maintain that other family relatives such as grandparents, uncles, aunts as well as close family friends and neighbors can and should also have a significant role in the raising of children.   Remember the wise African phrase "It takes a village to raise a child"

​

We value these relationships, their uniqueness for each child, and the special contributions they can bring to the parenting process. 

​

Continuous Learning and Training:
Co-parenting is a multifaceted undertaking, and we believe that ongoing learning and training are essential components of successful co-parenting. Just as professionals invest in training to excel in their careers, co-parents can benefit from education and resources to navigate the complexities of raising children in diverse cultural and linguistic contexts.

 

Our programs and resources are designed to provide co-parents with the knowledge, tools, and skills needed to meet the unique challenges of co-parenting effectively. We offer training modules, workshops, and guidance to empower co-parents with the insights and strategies to navigate cultural differences, language barriers, and the evolving needs of their children.

​

Personal Growth and Role Modeling:
We view co-parenting as a transformative journey that not only benefits the children but also the co-parents themselves. As co-parents invest in their own personal growth and development, they become better role models for their children. Co-parenting offers an opportunity for self-discovery, empathy, and continuous improvement.

 

Our approach encourages co-parents to prioritize self-care and personal growth, recognizing that taking care of oneself is the foundation for building the best version possible. By nurturing their own well-being, co-parents can model resilience, emotional intelligence, and a commitment to lifelong learning for their children.

 

We encourage getting a bigger awareness of our own parenting, and to viewing relationships from both directions…. for example, the parents’ response to their children’s behavior, as well as the children’s feelings about a specific response or action. We aim to help parents develop effective skills in compassion and empathy that allow them to easily consider how their children might feel, and what they are experiencing in their relationship with their parents.

 

Our comprehensive parenting model recognizes the unique path to personal development that parenting (as one of life’s most challenging activities) offers. Because the most trying circumstances of parenthood appear when time and energy are in short supply, this may not, at first glance, seem like the opportune situation for self-improvement. However, the parenting journey can also be a catalyst for self-discovery, as parents often realize that self-improvement is an effort worth making not only for themselves but also for the interests of their children. As Joseph Chilton Pearce so eloquently said: “What we ARE teaches the child more than what we say, so we must BE what we want our children to become.” 

 

We can be intentional about what we choose to learn and how we choose to grow. Developing ourselves personally in this way allows us to reach our full potential, be our best selves, and live our happiest, most authentic lives. Being the best we can be in this way offers our children the greatest version of ourselves, and from that example facilitates their own growth into the adults we want them to be.

 

The more responsible notion of self self-carecare is self-actualization, also called personal growth and self-improvement. It helps you achieve what is most important to you.  To become that being you need to work on your own resilience and knowledge.
