In this practical book, two experts provide straightforward co-parenting advice to parents facing separation or divorce who wish to pursue the shared parenting approach. Drawing on their extensive experience and research, the authors emphasize the importance of children having significant time with both parents, allowing them to maintain meaningful relationships.

      Originally published in Australia (2006), this import seamlessly translates to American readers and is the ideal book for separated parents committed to coparenting. Psychologist Burrett and lawyer Green advocate for greater involvement by fathers and greater sharing by mothers, arguing that both genders are parents even if no longer partners. They warn against excessive scrutiny and help readers identify the fine line between communicating and intruding. In "Sorting Out Your Motives," they present pointed questions for reflection, reminding readers that kids should not be saddled with diplomacy and loyalties. Children's comments and those of separated parents are woven throughout. The Parenting Plans-some very detailed for those with contentious separations and some flexible for those able to share parenting with greater trust-are a big plus.-Julianne J. Smith, Ypsilanti Dist. Lib., MI
