Book Description

August 6, 2007
Drawing from her own experiences as well as from in-depth studies on personal development, Carolyn B. Ellis offers the ultimate “how-to” guide for successful single parenting. The 7 Pitfalls of Single Parenting: What to Avoid to Help Your Children Thrive After Divorce is a simple, yet powerful handbook for parents who are concerned about the impact of divorce on their children.

Single parents often fall prey to seven common and self-defeating pitfalls in the aftermath of divorce. While often made with the best of intentions, these mistakes—if not corrected—can have negative, long-term impact on both you and your children. These pitfalls include not putting the needs of your children first, parenting from guilt, and living in chaos.

Designed for single parents in the trenches, The 7 Pitfalls of Single Parenting dissects each blunder, offers anecdotes from Ellis’s experience as a single mother of three school-age children, and shares interviews with single parents and divorce experts. Explained with compassion, humor, and wisdom, this invaluable guide will help you develop your parenting resilience and improve the emotional health and well-being of your children.

5.0 out of 5 stars If ONLY I had had this book 20 years ago!, September 17, 2007
By 
This review is from: The 7 Pitfalls of Single Parenting: What to Avoid to Help Your Children Thrive After Divorce (Paperback)
I wish there had been a book like "The 7 Pitfalls" when I was a single parent! This is the book I needed and describes parenting as a divorced parent in real life terms and situations.

The excercises are helpful and the format of the book is easy to grasp and understand. This book will become a part of "Tiers of Healing" curriculum.

If you are a divorced parent this is a book that you must own.
