The Unique Dynamics of Shared/Co-Parenting in Kinship Families

This Grandfamilies & Kinship Support Network webinar facilitated by Dr. Joseph Crumbley offered participants shared/co-parenting strategies that provide well-being, safety, and stability for children in kinship families. (The Grandfamilies & Kinship Support Network is a national technical assistance center funded by the Administration for Community Living). The webinar provided guidance on how to identify the strengths and benefits of shared parenting for the child, caregivers, and birth parents in kinship families; formulate prerequisites and criteria for assessing whether or not shared/co-parenting is feasible and in the best interest of the child and kinship family; develop strategies to elicit buy-in from caregivers and birth parents to engage in shared/co-parenting; identify barriers and approaches to minimize the challenges of shared parenting; and provide caregivers with dialogues, guidelines, and roles for birth parents that promote and maintain shared/co-parenting.
