A four-level Child-Centered Continuum Model (CCCM) for being child focused and child inclusive is introduced as a skillsbased framework to increase the likelihood that children are considered in mediation and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) processes. The article highlights children as parties to versus objects of family matters that affect them and begins with the belief that children are active participants in family systems. Parent readiness to hear their children is reviewed as well as a description of each of the four levels of the CCCM. Issues related to ADR practitioner neutrality, child and family safety, and skills are addressed.Key Points for the Family Court Community:Continuum model for levels of inclusion of children in mediation Practice tool to assist in the identification of parent readiness to hear children Practice tool to assist separated parents to hear child and youth concerns Approaches to working with dysregulated parents Levels of child inclusion

The aim of the research was to hear children's accounts of their experiences and needs during the transition in order to inform the development of a child-centred model of service delivery. The author recommends a number of strategies to assist service providers to enhance the wellbeing of children experiencing family separations.
