– Appreciative Parent & Family First Advising Client
What Is Family First Advising?
Is your relationship struggling, headed for divorce or already there?
First-hand experience, empathy and insight make Zeph Landau and Family First Advising a great option for anyone who wants to protect their children from the fallout of a strained or broken relationship. Zeph’s unique 1-on1 advising process takes the pressure off, helping you clarify your goals and take positive steps to ensure that—no matter what happens—you and your children will remain healthy and happy.
Family First Advising is well-suited to any parent who may be thinking:
- “Can’t we work this out?”
- “Do we have to get a divorce?”
- “If we do, can we separate responsibly?”
- “What next? Do I hire a lawyer? Move out?”
- “How will the kids react—and how do I deal with that?”
Unlike traditional therapy, individual coaching or couple’s mediation, hiring Zeph is like hiring a skilled general contractor who then helps you identify and apply a range of tailored solutions to your unique situation. His emotional intelligence, expert guidance and kid-focused approach helps you take deliberate action, identify the best family resources and build a foundation that safeguards your children’s needs.
There’s even more to gain by working with Family First Advising.
Our model may be kid-centric, but it also provides direction for moving forward—as a parent who’s supported by an infrastructure that helps you manage your feelings, finances and more. That’s what makes this approach so different. It’s intentionally comprehensive, offering surprising benefits in the areas of parenting, co-parenting and other aspects of life which are specific to families in transition.
If you’re struggling in your relationship, you’ll learn to:
- Sort things out more productively.
- Manage the day-to-day successfully.
- Reduce collateral damage to your children.
- Team up, as parents, so that your children thrive.
- Avoid getting swallowed up in details and take action.
If you’re currently separating, you can still:
- Plan ahead for successful co-parenting.
- Put your kids first, while moving forward.
- Establish a routine that works for everyone.
- Manage your needs and fears in a healthy way.
- Create an infrastructure for change without inciting fear.
If you’re no longer living together, it’s possible to:
- Talk to your kids about their concerns.
- Parent together, so that your kids thrive.
- Enjoy the time you have with your children.
- Set a course for your own life that excites you.
- Create compatible house rules, consequences, etc.
A Personal Note from Zeph
There’s no way to sugarcoat it.
Being in a relationship that isn’t working well (or at all) just plain sucks. If you have kids together, the pain may feel ten times worse. Married life and, consequently, family life aren’t at all what you hoped they would be. Reality, fear and uncertainty about the future all begin to overwhelm you. You think, how did this happen? How do I fix this situation? How do I protect myself? What will happen to us? My poor kids!
My name is Zeph and I can help you through this. As a father who’s faced his own marital challenges, I know that what you do now and how you do it matters greatly. I can't promise you that the pain will magically go away, but I can help you make good choices and take action that helps you and your children come through healthy and happy. It’s hard work—believe me, I know—but the rewards are worth it.
Close your eyes and envision your life two years from now.
Picture your children happy and well-adjusted. They’re immersed in the task of simply being kids and are thriving. Imagine them knowing they are loved, taken care of and have caring adults in their lives whom they can count on. Imagine that you are an essential component of their lives. Picture this as clearly as you can. Your children are happy and all of their needs are accounted for.
My personal goal is to help you get from here to there.
What I offer is compassionate expertise that helps you steer yourself (and your family) through your current dilemma. That’s true whether you’ve hit a rough patch, don’t know what to do, hope to reconcile, are talking divorce or have already divorced. We’ll first set long-term goals, figuring out how to best help your kids and putting in place the right resources for your situation. Then, we’ll begin tackling the details.
We’ll address lots of issues, but providing support for your kids will be our No. 1 priority.
Let’s figure out how you can parent well through the process.
All the best,
Zeph
