Dr. Ricci has done it again! The CoParenting Toolkit will likely become the resource manual for co-parents, their attorneys, and mediators trying to navigate the complexities of coparenting in today's world. The practical recommendations and hints for success are worth the price of the book. The vignettes help parents know there are others who have similar, yet solvable problems. Kids' Turn is pleased to recommend this to families enrolled in our services.

Executive Director, Kids' Turn Best I have seen in this kind of book! Isolina Ricci has managed to get more useful and practical information in fewer pages than any other author on this topic. It's actually fun to read. The CoParenting Toolkit is easy on the eye, and the layout allows readers to digest material rapidly. This book is a fit for a high school level reader or a professor in psychology—and that is hard to accomplish. I am looking forward to distributing this book to my colleagues in the family court and parent education.

Family Court Services In this new book, Isolina Ricci provides a rich, concise, and highly readable manual for parents coping with the difficult process of coparenting after divorce. She expands upon ideas presented in her classic book, Mom's House, Dad's House, by giving parents specific guidelines to help them navigate the confusing process of learning how to negotiate parenting together after divorce. In a reader-friendly format, Dr. Ricci helps parents define their goals and provides them with tools that will make coparenting work for them. This is an excellent resource that belongs on the shelves of all professionals who work with divorced parents.

Author of The Good Divorce and We're Still Family The CoParenting Toolkit is one of those books you hope every single parent and coparent will read and use. It's practical, inspiring, and easyto- use. The Quizzes and Guidelines were my favorites.
—Linda Delbar, BSN, School Nurse (retired) Divorce is a maelstrom with potentially devastating consequences for both parents and children. Isolina Ricci's CoParenting Toolkit provides an eminently do-able set of steps to help calm the storm and create a constructive parenting plan for the whole family's benefit. This is an enormous contribution to the cause of effective parenting and the well-being of the children of divorce.
—Jeff Gillenkirk, author of Home, Away The CoParenting Toolkit is a very helpful book. Parents will appreciate Dr. Ricci's kindly encouragement, practical tips, and wise advice. After reading this book parents will understand the meaning of coparenting and be better prepared to decide whether or how it might work for them and their children.
