	For three decades I have worked with families in transition—couples who are ending their partnerships, and children who deeply experience their parents’ separation, divorce or remarriage. While I have seen the dark side of divorce, I have also witnessed the positive outcomes when parents put their children’s well-being above all else and focus on parenting that helps their children become confident, resilient, and ultimately well adjusted. And that’s my goal for my new book, Putting Children First – to help parents (and the family, friends and professionals who care about them) understand the considerable impact divorce has on children, including the emotions they experience deeply but often hide, and learn how best to help them weather the many transitions that follow divorce. The parenting strategies I provide are based on a wealth of research; they have been proven to help children thrive.
