Download or read book Child Custody written by Mimi E. Lyster and published by NOLO. This book was released on 1995 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LAW It is difficult to imagine a situation more fraught with potential conflict than that of divorcing parents discussing custody of their children. Professional mediator Lyster claims that despite the inflexibility that often accompanies family breakups, parents can put together custody agreements that are better than those mandated by a court. She aims here to provide guidance for constructing a parenting agreement that favors the child's needs while defusing the tension that can accompany negotiations. Lyster covers everything from medical care to allowing underage marriage to dealing with the parents' new partners. Compromises and creative solutions are suggested; Lyster also offers techniques for keeping the negotiations civil and productive. There is an interesting discussion on parenting arrangements in all kinds of nontraditional families, and important distinctions among states in regard to custody are noted. Legal and family counseling professionals will shiver at Lyster's assertion that the book can be used without professional intervention, but she is careful to provide advice on finding lawyers, custody evaluators, and counselors. A list of support organizations and the clear, pragmatic approach typical of the publisher's books make this a recommended choice for all popular law collections.

Download or read book The Parent s Guide to Birdnesting written by Ann Gold Buscho and published by Adams Media. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take coparenting to the next level and provide a stable environment for your children as you and your spouse begin tackling your separation or divorce. For parents who are separating and want to put their children first, birdnesting could be the interim custody solution you’ve been looking for. Instead of the children splitting their time being shuttled between mom and dad’s separate homes, birdnesting allows the children to stay in the “nest” and instead, requires mom and dad to swap, allowing each parent to stay elsewhere when not with the children. Initially popularized by celebrities, this method of coparenting is now becoming more mainstream as a way to help ease children into a new family dynamic. Birdnesting takes work and commitment but with Dr. Ann Gold Buscho’s guidance, you’ll learn everything you need to know about this revolutionary method. In The Parent’s Guide to Birdnesting, you will discover the pros and cons, the financial and interpersonal considerations, and if it’s the right decision for you and your family.

Download or read book Parenting Matters written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.
