A paradigm-shifting model of parenting children in two homes from an internationally recognized expert.
A researcher, therapist, and mediator, Robert Emery, Ph.D., details a new approach to sharing custody with children in two homes. Huge numbers of children are affected by separation, divorce, cohabitation breakups, and childbearing outside of marriage. These children have two homes. But their parents have only one chance to protect their childhood. Building on his 2004 book The Truth About Children and Divorce and a strong evidence base, including his own research, Emery explains that a parenting plan that lasts a lifetime is one that grows and changes along with children's-and families'-developing needs. Parents can and should work together to renegotiate schedules to best meet the changing needs of children from infancy through young adult life. Divided into chapters that address the specific needs of children as they grow up, Emery:
Introduces his Hierarchy of Children's Needs in Divorce
Provides specific advice for successful parenting, starting with infancy and reaching into emerging adulthood
Advocates for joint custody but notes that children do not count minutes and neither should parents
Highlights that there is only one "side" for parents to take in divorce: the children's side
Himself the father of five children, one from his first marriage, Emery brings a rare combination of personal and professional insight and guidance for every parent raising a child in two homes
Max and Sara from Beautiful Stranger take it to the next step -- parenthood. How will the two find time for both their bedroom playtime and child-rearing?
Featuring all the fan-favorite characters from the Beautiful Bastard series.
Max Stella (the Beautiful Stranger) takes Bennett Ryan (the Beautiful Bastard) to Las Vegas for the craziest bachelor party The Strip has ever seen. They're having fun, but keep trying to sneak out of their own shindig to meet up with the girls they love.
Escaping a cheating ex, finance whiz Sara Dillon’s moved to New York City and is looking for excitement and passion without a lot of strings attached. So meeting the irresistible, sexy Brit at a dance club should have meant nothing more than a night’s fun. But the manner—and speed—with which he melts her inhibitions turns him from a one-time hookup and into her Beautiful Stranger.
The whole city knows that Max Stella loves women, not that he’s ever found one he particularly wants to keep around. Despite pulling in plenty with his Wall Street bad boy charm, it’s not until Sara—and the wild photos she lets him take of her—that he starts wondering if there’s someone for him outside of the bedroom.
Hooking up in places where anybody could catch them, the only thing scarier for Sara than getting caught in public is having Max get too close in private.
