Children living in separated family situations fare best when their relationship with each of their parents continues to be close. Putting Children First helps mothers and fathers unlock and resolve the conflict around contact with children that can arise during and after separation. Using strategies such as parenting plans, scripted phone calls, and parenting meetings, the book will enable parents to communicate effectively on all the most important things in their children's lives—and make relaxed arrangements for the continued involvement by both parents with their children.

The narrative centers on Kkay, a six-year-old girl living in Hawaii, who shares her imaginative interpretations of the world around her, shaped by her experiences and overheard conversations. With a strong personality and a knack for logical reasoning, Kkay navigates childhood mysteries and family dynamics, often with humorous misconceptions. The book captures the essence of childhood curiosity and the bond between Kkay and her grandmother, Karen, who recounts these tales to connect with her grandchildren, celebrating the joys of family and imagination.
