Making the Most of Family Changes.
This book is a revised and updated version of consulting psychologist Jill Burret's earlier book, 'To And Fro Children'. Jill writes from personal and professional experience of the effects of separation on families.
In this practical and sympathetic book, Jill offers a comprehensive look at the issues families face following divorce or separation, and how parents can get on with life armed with new insights to apply to themselves, including ways to achieve cooperative parenting.
The author explains how to:
- Maintain a positive approach to a parent's most important job - caring for your children.
- Consider your ex-partner's point of view, whether or not your sympathise with it.
- Recognise the importance of a father's contribution to children's lives, and so co-parent on an equal basis.
- Do the best for your children, whether they're with you most of the time or visit you regularly.
- Successfully blend families and assume new and unexpected roles, such as stepmum or stepdad.
- Effectively manage single-parent families whether you are a mum or a dad.
- Get on with your life in a positive way, so you can grow and change.
Jill shares her extensive experience with families experiencing change to help parents understand what is best for their children.
