Book Synopsis The Parent's Guide to Birdnesting by : Ann Gold Buscho
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.

Book excerpt: If half of all cars bought in America each year broke down, there would be a national uproar. But when people suggest that maybe every single marriage doesn't look like the next and isn't meant to last until death, there's nothing but a rash of proposed laws trying to force it to do just that. In The New I Do, therapist Susan Pease Gadoua and journalist Vicki Larson take a groundbreaking look at the modern shape of marriage to help readers open their minds to marrying more consciously and creatively. Offering actual models of less-traditional marriages, including everything from a parenting marriage (intended for the sake of raising and nurturing children) to a comfort or safety marriage (where people marry for financial security or companionship), the book covers unique options for couples interested in forging their own paths. With advice to help listeners decide what works for them, The New I Doacts as a guide to thinking outside the marital box and the framework for a new debate on marriage in the 21st century.
Book Synopsis Bird-Nesting: Extreme Co-Parenting After Divorce by : Toby Hazlewood
Download or read book Bird-Nesting: Extreme Co-Parenting After Divorce written by Toby Hazlewood and published by . This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When divorcing, most parents will be concerned over how best to raise their children after separation of the family unit. Co-parenting, where both parents remain actively involved in raising their kids is becoming more commonplace as parents recognise the need to put aside their relationship differences in favour of raising the kids most effectively. For those who are committed to doing the very best to raise their kids, and ensure that their needs are put to the fore, there is an even more child-centric model of post-divorce family life; bird-nest co-parenting. In this model, the kids from the separated family remain in a single home and the divorced parents come and go around them, rather than the more conventional model where the kids move back and forth between homes and parents. The model is unusual, innovative and offers a unique means of providing continuity in the kids' upbringing. It also requires extensive compromise, planning and consistency in execution both by the parents and also the children..This book distils the knowledge and experience gained in the raising my two daughters following divorce, from the ages of 3 and 7, to 14 and 18, first via equal co-parenting and for the last two years using bird-nesting. My ex-wife and I determined in 2005 that our relationship with each other was over, but we were both committed to remaining actively involved in the raising of our daughters for the duration of both their childhood. Co-parenting, and later nesting, have allowed us both to preserve an active role as parents to our daughters, sharing equally in the highs and inevitable lows of raising kids. This model of post-divorce parenting and life has also helped us both to recover from divorce and build happy and fulfilled lives individually. More importantly, we've jointly raised two contented, loving, well-adjusted and accomplished daughters who have a close bond with each of us and with each other.This book introduces the concept of bird-nesting (also known as birds-nest parenting, bird-nest co-parenting or just nesting) and describes the core-principles of how it is intended to work. It provides a personal account of how our arrangement emerged (full-credit goes to my ex-wife for first suggesting it). It describes the challenges and pitfalls we've encountered and overcome along the way. It also shares the many beneficial experiences that co-parenting and then nesting have brought about in all our lives. On hearing of the concept, many will voice scepticism, and express concerns about how nesting could possibly work, ranging from how the financial aspects stack up, the challenges that it presents for potentially blurring the boundaries between pre and post-divorce life, and also in relation to the inevitably closer visibility afforded into the life of your ex (and for them in relation to your life). This book tackles each of these objections in turn and assists the reader in understanding how they can be managed, minimised and dealt with to allow you all to benefit from employing the arrangement. If you are curious as to how to give your kids the best life possible after the separation of their family unit, if you are open to new and innovative ways of living, or if you are simply curious to understand how such an arrangement can be made to work, I hope you will find this book interesting and informative. I'm passionate about sharing my experiences and details of the challenges that I have overcome in the hope that it may help others who are tackling similar situations in their lives. I'm proud of my kids as all parents are, but I'm also proud of the way that we've been able to give our kids a childhood that is by no means second-best, but rather one that is complete and loving. I hope that this book will find others who have a similar goal for the raising of their kids post-divorce and who are interested to learn more about bird-nesting, an extreme form of co-parenting.
Book Synopsis Nesting After Divorce by : Beth Behrendt
Download or read book Nesting After Divorce written by Beth Behrendt and published by Union Square & Co.. This book was released on 2023-04-11 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spirit of Conscious Uncoupling comes a guide for a child-centered approach to parenting after divorce—known as nesting—that will change what it looks like to move forward as a family after a marriage ends. Research suggests when a couple separates, children suffer the most, as they’re typically shuttled back and forth between two different homes. When Beth Behrendt and her husband divorced, she found a better way: She gave her children custody of the home, while she and her husband moved around. After successfully implementing more than six years of what’s known as “nesting,” Behrendt has created a step-by-step guide for divorcing parents to introduce the practice in their own families. In Nesting After Divorce, Behrendt provides a co-parenting program that can start when an unhappily married couple considers the pros and cons of a nesting divorce. She offers advice on deciding whether nesting is the right choice for a family and communicating the concept to a spouse, children, friends, and family. She outlines the steps for assembling a nesting “team” of legal, financial, and mental health professionals and even shows how, surprisingly, nesting is often a more affordable approach to divorce than the traditional two-home model. Behrendt’s divorce book expands upon her viral 2017 New York Times essay “After Divorce, Giving Our Kids Custody of the Home,” and is the perfect guide for anyone seeking a healthy, amicable divorce for their family.

Book Synopsis Mother Daughter Me by : Katie Hafner
Download or read book Mother Daughter Me written by Katie Hafner and published by Random House. This book was released on 2013-07-02 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complex, deeply binding relationship between mothers and daughters is brought vividly to life in Katie Hafner’s remarkable memoir, an exploration of the year she and her mother, Helen, spent working through, and triumphing over, a lifetime of unresolved emotions. Dreaming of a “year in Provence” with her mother, Katie urges Helen to move to San Francisco to live with her and Zoë, Katie’s teenage daughter. Katie and Zoë had become a mother-daughter team, strong enough, Katie thought, to absorb the arrival of a seventy-seven-year-old woman set in her ways. Filled with fairy-tale hope that she and her mother would become friends, and that Helen would grow close to her exceptional granddaughter, Katie embarked on an experiment in intergenerational living that she would soon discover was filled with land mines: memories of her parents’ painful divorce, of her mother’s drinking, of dislocating moves back and forth across the country, and of Katie’s own widowhood and bumpy recovery. Helen, for her part, was also holding difficult issues at bay. How these three women from such different generations learn to navigate their challenging, turbulent, and ultimately healing journey together makes for riveting reading. By turns heartbreaking and funny—and always insightful—Katie Hafner’s brave and loving book answers questions about the universal truths of family that are central to the lives of so many. Praise for Mother Daughter Me “The most raw, honest and engaging memoir I’ve read in a long time.”—KJ Dell’Antonia, The New York Times “A brilliant, funny, poignant, and wrenching story of three generations under one roof, unlike anything I have ever read.”—Abraham Verghese, author of Cutting for Stone “Weaving past with present, anecdote with analysis, [Katie] Hafner’s riveting account of multigenerational living and mother-daughter frictions, of love and forgiveness, is devoid of self-pity and unafraid of self-blame. . . . [Hafner is] a bright—and appealing—heroine.”—Cathi Hanauer, Elle “[A] frank and searching account . . . Currents of grief, guilt, longing and forgiveness flow through the compelling narrative.”—Steven Winn, San Francisco Chronicle “A touching saga that shines . . . We see how years-old unresolved emotions manifest.”—Lindsay Deutsch, USA Today “[Hafner’s] memoir shines a light on nurturing deficits repeated through generations and will lead many readers to relive their own struggles with forgiveness.”—Erica Jong, People “An unusually graceful story, one that balances honesty and tact . . . Hafner narrates the events so adeptly that they feel enlightening.”—Harper’s “Heartbreakingly honest, yet not without hope and flashes of wry humor.”—Kirkus Reviews “[An] emotionally raw memoir examining the delicate, inevitable shift from dependence to independence and back again.”—O: The Oprah Magazine (Ten Titles to Pick Up Now) “Scrap any romantic ideas about what goes on when a 40-something woman invites her mother to live with her and her teenage daughter for a year. As Hafner hilariously and touchingly tells it, being the center of a family sandwich is, well, complicated.”—Parade

Gurwitch offers stories of resilience, adaptability, low-rent redemption, and the kindness of strangers. Even in a muted Zoom.
