Summary:
"From the author of Your Baby & Child: practical, comprehensively researched information and advice on how you can do what is best for your child when you are going through a separation or divorce. Using the latest scientific research in child development, Penelope Leach covers the various effects of divorce on
children
in five stages of life (infants, toddlers/preschoolers, primary school
children
, teenagers, college students/young adults), many of whom are far more deeply affected than previously thought. She explains recent studies which overturn many common assumptions, and which show, for example, that many standard
custody
arrangements for very young
children
are harmful to
children
's attachment to their parents and therefore to their brain development. There is evidence to suggest that the practice of having infants and toddlers spend regular overnights with non custodial parents may be damaging, and the practice of dividing
children
's time equally between the parents is seldom best for the
children
. Leach's advice is meticulously considered and exhaustive, covering everything from access,
custody
, and financial and legal considerations to managing separate sets of technology in two houses, and she includes the voices of both parents and
children
to illustrate her points. She explains why "mutual parenting" is the ideal way to co-parent after a divorce, and delineates ways to carry this out. And throughout, she makes clear that, most importantly in any separation or divorce, both parents must put their relationship to their
children
and responsiveness to their needs ahead of their feelings about each other"--Provided by publisher.
