About this course
You have children with a narcissist, antisocial, borderline or psychopath. Now, every time you must send the kids to stay with your ex, you worry. She may or may not feed them. He breaks their toys, and breaks his promises. At the very least, your ex messes with their minds and emotions.
How can you protect your kids when you’re not there?
In this webinar, Claudia Paradise, LCSW, explains how a disordered parent may affect children, and how you can strengthen your kids so they can get through the visits. You’ll learn how safe routines when the kids are with you, building their self-esteem, encouraging them to deal with their feelings, and other strategies, will give kids the resilience to overcome the negativity they may encounter with your ex.

- The key to helping children deal with a disordered parent

absolutely helped me from dealing with a Narc. husband in the middle of kidnapping and court orders. I went from no clue to know “how/what” to say. Life savor, worth the money. I use credit card to pay for, but way worth it.
I like the personal story, to be honest I listened to it a few times but I had not gotten yet how to empower the child .. and which is not already common sense parenting. I feel annoyed I spent us$50 just like that. I like the personal experiencing and sharing n the speaker but I hadnt learnt what i expected to
Extremely useful and informative, I watched the webinar several times. Life changing information. Money well spent. For the first time I felt my questions got answered. I kept asking the same why questions over and over again. I am not confused any more. Thank you Donna.
This was informative and helpful.
First Webinar Experience – I am a licensed clinician and wanted to utilize this webinar for personal and professional usage. For me, the content did a good job affirming to me that I am managing some of my situations in the appropriate way and that was validating for me. Thank you for taking the time to pass on your knowledge. My only complaint, and this is really just nit-picking, but there were a couple typos on the slideshow that stood out to me. I feel like if I am paying $50 for something to work on professional, it is important to me that that presenter have proper grammar. People make mistakes, so I am still sticking with a 5 star review because the content was certainly helpful. I appreciate the experience!
