Few changes in life are as emotionally taxing for families as separation. In this practical book, two experts provide straightforward advice to separated or divorced parents who wish to focus on a shared parenting approach that is in everyone's best interest--especially the children's. The authors emphasize the importance of children having significant, even equal, time with both parents so they can maintain meaningful relationships. The book steers parents past their personal feelings toward tools such as weekly routines and communication tips to make a success of shared parenting.
