Summary:
"A paradigm-shifting model of
parenting
children in
two
homes
from an internationally recognized expert. A researcher, therapist, and mediator, Robert Emery, Ph. D., details a new approach to sharing custody with children in
two
homes
. Huge numbers of children are affected by separation, divorce, cohabitation breakups, and childbearing outside of marriage. These children have
two
homes
. But their parents have only
one
chance to protect their
childhood
. Building on his 2004 book The Truth About Children and Divorce and a strong evidence base, including his own research, Emery explains that a
parenting
plan
that lasts a
lifetime
is
one
that grows and changes along with children's--and families'--developing needs. Parents can and should work together to renegotiate schedules to best meet the changing needs of children from infancy through young adult life. Divided into s that address the specific needs of children as they grow up, Emery: introduces his hierarchy of children's needs in divorce; provides specific advice for successful
parenting
, starting with infancy and reaching into emerging adulthood; advocates for joint custody but notes that children do not count minutes and neither should parents; highlights that there is only
one
"side" for parents to take in divorce: the children's side. Himself the father of five children,
one
from his first marriage, Emery brings a rare combination of personal and professional insight and guidance for every parent raising a child in
two
homes
."--From publisher.
