The Co-Parenting Method: Raising Happy Kids After Separation with Marcie Shaoul

• Myerson Solicitors • Season 1 • Episode 10

🔍 Episode Overview:

In this episode, family lawyer Joe Ferguson is joined by Marcie Shaoul, certified coach and author of The Co-Parenting Method: Six Steps to Raise Happy Kids After Separation and Divorce.

Together, they explore how separated parents can move from conflict to collaboration, with practical tools for managing emotions, setting boundaries, and putting children’s needs first. The discussion also highlights how Marcie’s framework is helping both families and professionals rethink what effective co-parenting looks like.

Together they discuss:

  • Why developing a long-term mindset is essential to successful co-parenting
  • How to manage strong emotions and avoid communication “flare-ups”
  • The importance of healthy boundaries and mutual respect
  • The difference between co-parenting and parallel parenting — and when each approach is appropriate
  • How small shifts in behaviour can transform family dynamics and reduce conflict
  • How practitioners can use The Co-Parenting Method as an early-intervention tool to support clients outside the courtroom

đź§  Key Takeaways:

  • Co-parenting isn’t about friendship — it’s about creating a stable, low-conflict environment where children can thrive.
  • A calm, child-focused approach reduces emotional fallout and helps children feel secure across both homes.
  • The Co-Parenting Method gives parents a clear, six-step framework to communicate effectively and make lasting, child-centred decisions.
  • Professionals can recommend the book and online programme to empower clients early in their separation journey.
