Unlike other experts, who get bogged down in elaborate theories about divorce and child development, Christina McGhee’s PARENTING APART presents practical tips for meeting your children’s needs. Her argument – “while divorce is hard it doesn’t have to be devastating, Children can not only survive, but also thrive, following their parents’ divorce”– is convincing and inspiring.

This essential “go to” resource shows how to give your children the support and guidance they need and offers immediate solutions to the most critical parenting problems divorce brings – with tips on every aspect of divorce and separation, whether gently explaining things to your children or maintaining a sense of stability while taking care of yourself.

McGhee, an internationally acclaimed divorce coach, understands that parents sometimes need their hands held, too, and her narrative voice hits exactly the right notes of sensitivity and structure. Available August 2010, Berkeley Books/Penguin
