Why I Created This Course (And Why It’s Different)
I know what you’re thinking—“A court-ordered co-parenting class? Great. Another boring, check-the-box course filled with stuff I already know.”
I get it. Most co-parenting courses are dry, generic, and designed just to meet court requirements. But I know that’s not what you actually need.
I created this course because so many parents I work with just want to know where to start. They don’t need a deep dive into high-conflict co-parenting or legal loopholes—they just need the basics to feel confident and prepared.
💡 That’s exactly what this course is—a clear, no-fluff guide to the most important co-parenting fundamentals.
I’m Dr. Becca Ballinger, a licensed child psychologist, parenting expert, and host of the Modern Parenting Solutions Podcast. I’ve worked with countless parents—both in therapy sessions and in real life. Because before I became a psychologist, I was a single parent raising two kids on my own. I’ve lived this. I know the worries, the frustrations, and the endless questions.
I also know exactly where to begin.
This course lays out the co-parenting essentials in a simple, practical way—so you can stop stressing, stop guessing, and start parenting with confidence.
If you’re looking for a place to start, you’re in the right place. Let’s do this together.
