MYTH: Mothers automatically get care of the child/ren
FACT: The law focuses on the best interests of the child/ren. There is no automatic preference for either parent.

With the Autumn School Holidays in Western Australia now behind us, it’s a good time to reflect on what worked and what didn’t when it comes to parenting arrangements.

If you experienced challenges around time-sharing or communication, you’re not alone. Putting clear, structured arrangements in place can make future school holidays far more manageable, helping to reduce conflict and, most importantly, minimise stress for your children.

Our dedicated and experienced Family Lawyers are here to help you create practical, child-focused solutions that work for your family.

Perth Family Lawyers wish to introduce 360 Family Health and Ms Stephanie Rea, a facilitator and counsellor with 20 years experience working with families who are experiencing challenges with life transitions and mental health.

Ms Rea offers counselling and workshops and provides support for parents from early childhood, such as managing transitions in sleeping and settling, mealtime difficulties, family relationships changes, and the like which may be of considerable benefit to our clients experiencing family breakdown.

Below are some of the key programs 360 Family Health deliver:

Keeping Kids in Mind:

Keeping Kids in Mind (KKIM) is a researched based program offering support for separating parents with children of any age. The program includes case management, a parenting course and support.

Circle of Security:
This parent education program is designed to enhance attachment security between parents and children. The course is intended to help caregivers increase their awareness of their children’s needs and whether their own responses meet those needs.

Bringing Up Great Kids:
The program aims to support parents to review and enhance patterns of communication with their children, to promote more respectful interactions and encourage the development of children’s positive self-identity.

Tuning in to Teens / Engaging Adolescents
A parenting program that focuses on the emotional connection between parents/carers and their children. The evidence-based programs have proven success in improving parenting, parent-child relationships and children’s emotional competence and behaviour.

The dedicated team at Perth Family Lawyers understand that it can be difficult for separated parents to co-operate and communicate, so parenting courses may seem unnerving. However, we also know that healthy communication and understanding between the parents is the best tool to make their children’s life transition less challenging. Engaging in parenting programs and education can also be of significant benefit in your family law matters to demonstrate your commitment to ensuring you have all the tools necessary to be a great parent.
