"Children's children are a crown to the
aged,
and parents are the pride of their
children."
Proverbs 17:5-7
Parental
Consultation
Parents who have ended their marital relationship (or
were never in a marital relationship) face a number of challenges in
raising their children.
Parental consulting is a process where by parents minimize
conflict between themselves to develop the better interest of their
child. The goal of
parental consulting is to allow the child to have a relationship
with both parents without feeling “caught in the middle” or having
to take on one parent’s “side.” Parental consultation seeks
to avoid what Max Baer, an administrative law judge in
Pittsburgh,
PA notes, “Kids become the
victims of ‘friendly fire,’ each parent shoots them, intending to
hit the other parent.”
Parental
Consultant
The
Parental Consultant is a psychologist with expertise in family
dynamics and child development. The role of the Parenting
Consultant is to assist the parents to focus on and be attentive to
the best interest of the child. The goal is to help create a
family structure where both homes are a safe and functional place
for the children.

acknowledged.
