Promoting Positive Relationships Between Parents And Young Children When There Are Two Homes

This popular booklet was developed to assist parents as they make custody and visitation decisions for their young children (ages 0 to 3). It describes the emotional and developmental needs of young children, and suggests ways that shared parenting time can be sensitive to those needs. An excellent resource for parents, attorneys, Friend of the Court officers, and judges, the booklet:

• Suggests how parent and child can develop and maintain a loving, strong, and growing relationship — despite the stresses, frustrations, and disappointments which may occur when a child's parents are not a smoothly functioning team
• Indicates how infants and young children communicate when stress and change are overwhelming them
• Provides guidelines about separation which will be least damaging to the child's development
• Offers possible solutions to problems of raising a child in two different homes
• Includes extensive reading lists for parents, children and professionals
