The bonus family handbook: the definitive guide to co-parenting and creating stronger families - jann blackstone

The definitive guidebook for todays integrated families Imagine youre in a heated argument.

Your kids have decided that they dont want to go back to your exs home, and your ex isnt having it.

Meanwhile, your new partner is squirming uncomfortably in the other room.

What do you do? How do you stop the madness and come together to find the best solution for everyone? The Bonus Family Handbook introduces readers to a completely new approach to co-parenting and blending families.

Until now, parents have been told that once theres been a break-up, they become autonomous, single parents, and can make decisions for their children on their own.

But thats not true.

Thats not real life.

That old school break-up attitude offers no direction for co-parenting.

The Bonus Family Handbook changes all that.

It helps even the most contentious parents learn how to work together in the name of their children, teaching them how to apply practical co-parenting techniques so that they will be able to form a supportive, loving family.

The Bonus Family Handbook also recognizes the importance of incorporating new partners into the mix--of bringing in Bonus Moms and Bonus Dads--and empowering them to make decisions for the safety and well-being of the children.

With its emphasis on positive, collaborative co-parenting, this book is an essential resource for todays integrated families.
