Children of Families in Transition

You might find me wandering around Civic Park, or in the children's book section of the Walnut Creek Library. I might be dining with a child and his/her parent at a local Walnut Creek restaurant, or visiting with them in my Walnut Creek office. I am working as a professional family supervisor in child custody cases, helping a child stay connected to the non-custodial parent involved in a divorce case. Within our wonderful, family-oriented city of Walnut Creek, are many children who are quietly struggling with their parent's contentious negativity toward one another. I try to bridge that stress by getting them out to have fun with the parent who sees them the least. I hope to bring happiness and joy to these children who, through no fault of their own, are unable to delight in both parents playing with them at the same time. If you are a parent who knows of such children and have children of your own, encourage them to make friends - this child needs to feel as "normal" as possible under the trying circumstances.   Safe Family Connections
