Even a whole weekend visit may seem short for parents and children if the transitions from one home to the other are emotionally unsettling. This daughter has come to realize that it takes her time to adjust to being at her father's, so their quality time together is really less than a day. Just as she is beginning to enjoy herself, it is time to go - an event she has come to dread as her younger brother invariably cries and creates a scene when Dad leaves them back at Mom's. Finding a way to make transitions go smoothly and learning to optimize transition times are critical to making the most out of time together. The commentary describes ways to decrease the tension during the period of adjustment and why, from the child's perspective, these work. This topic and many more are explored in Don't Divorce Your Children. To find out more about the book click on the photo.
