Synopsis

A Parent's Guide to Divorce is every family's reference for raising healthy, happy children of all ages through divorce at all stages.

Healthy, thriving children have strong family bonds--but that doesn't mean their parents need to stay married. A Parent's Guide to Divorce coaches both high-conflict and cooperating parents alike on how to best address children's needs to become a stronger and closer family than before.

From creating a parenting plan to navigating the post-divorce world, this child-centered reference teaches you what to say and do to guide your children through divorce. With age-specific guidance for toddlers to young adults, A Parent's Guide to Divorce offers proactive solutions to make your child a priority as you successfully transition to co-parenting.

A Parent's Guide to Divorce helps your family overcome divorce and start a new chapter with:

• Child-centered guidance that incorporates developmental milestones for toddlers, preschoolers, young children, preteens, teenagers, and young adults.
• A step-by-step structure that offers support before, during, and after divorce.
• Practical tips that include scripts for finding compassionate answers to tough questions, and advice on handling holidays, making two homes truly home, new relationships, and other important topics for co-parents.

Divorce is a difficult time for you and your children, but it's only part of your story. A Parent's Guide to Divorce shows you how to turn a new page and give your kids a childhood filled with positive memories.
