Recenzii


'Dr. Nowinski provides step-by-step guidance that helps divorcing parents achieve their ultimate goal: doing what's best for the children. Through anecdotes and his formidable expertise, he gives detailed support for the spectrum of issues and developmental stages that children experience during this transition and beyond. Parents facing divorce who are struggling to do what's right by their kids will definitely want Dr. Nowinski in their corner.' - Andrea Bonior, Ph.D., 'Baggage Check' mental health columnist, Washington Post Express
 
'The Divorced Child is a plain speaking, insightful book that gives parents who are contemplating divorce a road map ahead. While the book focuses on the child of divorce, it also serves to navigate for the parents. The helpful anecdotes from Dr. Nowinski's practice give a realistic and practical flavor to his counsel. He wisely approaches advice for the child according to his developmental stage. While no family wants to need such a book, if divorce lies ahead, consider using this book as a guide to your future parenting.' - Victoria McEvoy, M.D., Medical Director and Chief of Pediatrics at Mass General West Medical Group and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School
 
'I can't wait to give this book to the divorcing and divorced families with whom I work! It is down-to-earth, practical and yet integrated with the author's knowledge of child and family developmental issues and tasks. The incorporation of real case illustrations will make this unique book invaluable to readers - both lay and professional. Dr. Nowinski is an excellent writer who is able to apply his vast clinical experience to help families through the complex process of separation and divorce.' - Barbara F. Okun, Ph.D., Northeastern University and Harvard Medical School She is the author of the highly successful Effective Helping: Interviewing and Counseling Techniques

Caracteristici


Half of all marriages end in divorce, and divorcing parents seek out prescriptive, helpful advice on how to cushion the impact on their children and guide them through the change in family structure
Nowinski draws on new research that shows that the first three years after separation is a critical window to ease the transition. Focusing on this period, he shows that it is important to be proactive because statistics show that this is when major problems surface
Nowinski identifies the different responses kids of different ages have - infants and toddlers, young children, and teenagers - and breaks it down so that parents have advice that is tailored to their children's critical developmental needs. In practical terms, he tells parents what to watch for, how kids of different ages and developmental stages respond. He also addresses parents's needs so that they have strength to be there effectively for their children
