Download When Parents Part: How Mothers and Fathers Can Help Their Children Deal with Separation and Divorce AudioBook Free
From the author of the best-selling Your Baby and Child comes a e book filled with completely functional, comprehensively explored information and advice about how you can certainly do what's best for your child when you are going right through a separation or divorce. While using the latest medical research in child development, Penelope Leach addresses the various ramifications of divorce on children in five stages of life - babies, toddlers/preschoolers, primary university children, teenagers, school students/young parents - a lot of whom are far more deeply affected than previously thought. She explains recent studies that overturn many common assumptions and this show, for example, how many standard custody preparations for very young children are harmful to children's attachment to their parents and for that reason to their brain development. There may be evidence to suggest that the practice of having infants and toddlers spend regular overnights with noncustodial parents may be damaging, and the practice of dividing children's time similarly between the parents is hardly ever best for the kids. Leach's advice is meticulously considered and exhaustive, covering from access, custody, and financial and legal considerations to managing separate collections of technology in two homes, and she includes the voices of both parents and children to demonstrate her items. She explains why "mutual parenting" is the perfect way to co-parent after having a divorce and delineates ways to transport this out. And throughout, she makes clear that, most importantly in any separation or divorce, both parents must put their marriage to their children and responsiveness to their needs ahead of their emotions about one another.
