| Summary |
The breakup of a family can have an enduring impact on children. But Dr. JoAnne Pedro-Carroll explains that parents can positively alter the immediate and long-term effects of divorce on their children. The key is parenting strategies that promote children's emotional health, resilience, and ability to lead satisfying lives. Over the past three decades, Pedro-Carroll has worked with families in transition, conducted research, and developed and directed court-endorsed programs that have helped thousands of families navigate divorce and its aftermath. Now she shares research-based advice that helps parents: gain a deeper understanding of what their children are experiencing; develop emotionally intelligent parenting strategies with the critical combination of boundless love and appropriate limits on behavior; reduce conflict with a former spouse and protect children from conflict's damaging effects; and learn what recent brain research reveals about stress and children's developing capabilities. Filled with the voices and drawings of children and the stories of families. |
