5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent,
By A Customer
This review is from: Children of Divorce: A Developmental Approach to Residence and Visitation (Paperback)
This slim volume was enormously helpful in understanding how to best meet the needs of children in different age groups after divorce.My husband and I were painfully aware that his kids were still having a lot of trouble adjusting to his divorce, particularly the visitation schedule. This book helped us understand what revisions needed to be made to the schedule. We easily recognized his children in the descriptions of how kids at different developmental stages respond to their parents' divorces, and the author's lists of what the kids' developmental tasks are at each stage and what likely trouble areas are helped us to assess how the kids were coping. We easily identified that the seven-year-old could be helped significantly by involving him in sports to develop important relationships with his peers and that we could probably divide the amount of time the nine-year-old spent with each parent more equally without causing her anxiety or leaving her confused about her schedule. Kids have very different reactions to divorce, and this book is perfect for helping parents identify what they can do to help each of their individual children. An excellent resource for divorced parents who really want to help their kids.

A must read for planning a custody/visitation agreement.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Children of Divorce: A Developmental Approach to Residence and Visitation (Paperback)
I cannot recommend this book highly enough. In planning and writing my custody/visitation plan I quoted and based the plan on the suggested guidlines in the book. There is a clear understanding for the needs of THE CHILD and the information is written with the child's best interest in mind. In the end the plan that I submitted was entered in as the official recommendation, and the judge was impressed by my reference to this book.

Bad Information,
By bradley davis (wichita falls, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Children of Divorce: A Developmental Approach to Residence and Visitation (Paperback)
This book is very outdated to start things off. This shows no studies done on children who are actually involved with equal shared parenting. This book tells how the children should not spend the night at the onon-custodial parents house when at a young age. A child can sleep at a daycare or at school, but can't go spend the night at dad's house. How else can a child get the benefit of having both parents share in the raising of that child. The non-custodial parent would never get to help the child get ready for bed, wake them up in the morning, take them to school, make them dinner, and the list would go on forever. This book is great information for people who want their children to have one parent and to have major problems later in life
