Formatted and printed in a back-to-back manner, the book encourages both sides to understand the other's point of view, and so enables both parents to make the most of time spent with the children. How To Parent with Your Ex provides support for the difficult situation the non-residential parent is in and practical, to-the-point advice about how to reap the most benefits from the visitation time available. Conversely, it addresses the role of the residential parent and the need to understand the changing relationships the child is going through. By focusing on the child, both parents are able to solidify a special relationship with the child and maintain necessary, positive communication with the ex-spouse. Appendices for this text include various parenting organizations, publication resources, related websites and sample visitation plans and schedules.Parenting, Part-timeDivorced parentsChildren of divorced parentsParenting, Part-time.Divorced parents.Children of divorced parents.649/.1/08653Sember Brette McWhorter1968-1799015MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910955942603321Parenting with your ex4472389UNINA
