For court-referred mediation clients, need suggestions on books about
parenting a 4-5 year old. (Behavior,discipline, developmental needs.) Could
be general parenting book that covers this age-group.

Subject: Child Specialist Protocols
Hi All:
When I first received a request for protocols for the Child
Specialist, I imagined responding to one person. I did not
communicate this to my office manager, however, who sent out the
response to the listserve. We have been innundated with so many
requests that I would not be able to do this justice. I do,
however, have some suggestions.
First, I'm hoping all of you who requested the protocols have had a
training that provided these in detail. If not, that should be your
first step, since there is nothing like a team training to learn all
the pieces of the interdisciplinary puzzle, including the child
specialist in depth.
Second, for the Child Specialist ethics, connect with the IACP
online where you'll find the ethical guidelines listed.
Lastly, my colleague Peggy Thompson has a book soon to be published
which will detail the role, functions and protocols for the child
specialist, along with the rest of the team. This is not meant to
take the place of a training, but will be a great complement. Hope
all this helps.
Best,
Nancy Ross

Subject: "Other" professionals
Has any group out there thought hard about the role of merely "consulting"
professionals who would not be regular members of the collaborative team?
Appraisers, business evaluators, mortgage people, vocational specialists? Do
any groups out there maintain public or internal referral lists for these
folks? Have an auxiliary class of membership? Require some kind of training
or qualifications? Invite them to all group meetings, or only some?

Subject: Fees
List mates:
I am in a small community with attorney fees set accordingly. All of the
other CL attorneys on my side of the state are in a much larger city about
1½ hours away. We are all fairly newly trained but envision working together
on cases and one or the other of us would travel. However, there is
obviously a disparity in our usual fee structures. We are looking for some
guidance on whether it is the standard for the attorneys in a given CL case
to charge the same hourly rate or if each simply sets their own rates and
that's an issue between the individual client and his or her lawyer. Also,
are there additional concerns when a couple agrees to pay both attorneys out
of a joint account to which they both continue to contribute? We appreciate
any insight more established members are willing to share.
Thanks very much.

The newly formed Boulder County group will have an associate membership for
that group. They will not be listed on the public web site. They will be
required to attend a certain number of meetings and pay membership dues.
They will be invited to all meetings and many have already undergone Level 1
training.

I am pleased to report there are now more than 100 articles posted on my
website for anyone to use freely.
Please share this resource with friends, colleagues and family.
-----------------------------------------
When young siblings don't get along, it likely has nothing to do with
sibling rivalry, but more to do with different developmental stages. This
article explains:
Sibling Harmony Versus Rivalry

Parents who consume alcohol on a regular basis may be placing their children
at risk. But how much is too much? Read:
Drinking and Parenting
http://www.yoursocialworker.com/p-articles/Drinking_and_Parenting.htm

Custody battles are kinda like monkey traps. When both parents grab hold of
their position, both can lose and the child can be harmed. Here's a way out:
Let Go To Win

Much harm comes to all when one parent brain washes a child against the
other parent. These represent some of the toughest cases in child custody
disputes. View:

Subject: Re: Fees
Don't know if anyone has responded to you or not!
I am one of the founding members of the Cincinnati Academy of Collaborative
Professionals. We have been operating since 1997. Our initial requirements
mandated at least 5 years of practice which we have now reduced to 3, but we
still have a large spread of experience within the group (Over 50 active
Attorneys and more than 70 trained). There is a signifcant differential in
rates among the practitioners. Even in cases where the Attorney fees are
being paid out of the joint account, to my knowledge, the individual rates
have always been set between the attorneys and their client. I have even
had cases where there has been discussion about the billing statements as it
is not unusual for one party to need significantly more time with their own
attorney than the other in order to keep up with the process (a financially
uninvolved spouse for instance).
Hope that helps.
