STEP #3: Education - Believe solutions exist and you will begin to see them. Books, tapes, professionals, support groups, self-help resources provide ideas. Without ideas, the process grinds to a halt.

Here’s a short story to contemplate:

Many years ago, In Halifax, Nova Scotia, we were at a conference for issues pertaining to shared parenting. We’d never been to Halifax before. After settling in and grabbing some dinner, we went to a local downtown bookstore in search of books that we might not have seen elsewhere. It’s something we do when we travel, keep our eyes and ears open for new solutions to the problems and challenges we ourselves face in different areas of our life, and in areas that our clients find challenging.

Within 90 seconds we found a book call “Co-Parenting” by Miriam Galper, so of course we purchased it.

The next day Danny was scheduled to speak. He opened his talk with this example:

“I have never been to Halifax before. It’s a very beautiful city. Upon my arrival I settled in, had dinner, and as is my custom in new places, I go to local bookstores, seeking solutions to the problems and challenges we ourselves face and that our clients face. When I found this book “Co-Parenting” by Miriam Galper. It’s full of many solutions to some of the challenges you are facing that brought you to this conference today. If I can find this book, full of solutions in your town, after only being here for 2-3 hours, imagine what you could find. After all, you live here…”
