DISCLAIMER: Online parent education classes are widely recognized within the state of Iowa by most District courts; however, if you are court ordered to take a co-parenting class, it is always best to verify approval of our classes with your county court of record to verify their acceptance of an online parenting class. Each state, county and individual judge may dictate different requirements.

I was hesitant at first but am glad I took this course. It made me think a little differently about a few things. And while not all separation are the same I still grasped a good amount of knowledge I can use to better my children’s lives.

I want to say that I'm satisfied with the classes and what I learned. It would be great if all parents going through a separation took them; they would be very helpful in parenting and managing their children.

I'm very satisfied with this course that was recommended to me. As a parent, you never stop learning; it's very useful. All the examples in the videos have taught me that, as a mother, it's good to learn important things to raise my children better.

I learned a lot about better conflict management and coparenting. I’ve learned better ways to not place my children in the middle and how to better manage my frustrations.

I think the class actually opened my eyes to seeing things in a different light. It also helped me understand the things that I went through in the past. I actually looked back at them and broke down how i did it and what I shouldve done differently.

This was extremely helpful for me understanding that I am doing the right thing and I am taking the correct steps for the children to make sure they know we are trying to figure out what is best for them.

Every case and family is different. Many questions arose that I haven't yet experienced, and it was difficult to answer them, but it was also very helpful because it prepared me for the future if something similar happens.
