    HOW TO DEAL WITH THE CHILDREN


    Raising An Emotionally Intelligent Child (Paperback) by
    John Gottman

    Amazon Customer review

    I am a child/family psychologist and don't like most parenting books for
    my clients because they present theories as facts without the research
    behind it. This is one of 3 books that I recommend because it is well-
    researched yet easy to read and comprehend. Gottman's work in the
    field of psychology is highly respected, and the research from which this
    book emanates is thorough and rigorous. Yet his format in the book is
    such that you can immediately begin to apply his "emotion-coaching"
    technique. If you are having difficulty coping with your child's emotional
    outbursts, read this book!




    HOW TO DEAL WITH DIVORCE


                                                             The Good Divorce (Paperback) by Constance Ahrons  

    Amazon Customer review

    I am a Counselor. Rule #1 is "Do not counsel friends and family."
    I gave this book to my son and his ex. Their break up was BEYOND
    poisonous to my Grandson. I asked them to read it & seek help.
    Otherwise I was going to seek custody of my Grandson. {It was THAT
    bad.} This book, along with a good 3rd party counselor, helped
    immensely. It is, in my opinion, good no nonsense advice. It will help
    open eyes of exactly WHAT you are possibly doing to your children during
    a divorce.

    Your Divorce Advisor, written by a seasoned lawyer-and-psychologist

    control of their own divorce -- legally, financially, and emotionally. It walks

    about financial matters and state-of-the-art research about the needs of
    children allow the reader to make constructive decisions for themselves
    and for their children, setting them on the pathway toward solutions that
    work for everybody involved. All of this is presented in a manner that is
    compassionate, sensible, and most comforting.




    CHILD CUSTODY EVALUATIONS

    Conducting Child Custody Evaluations: A
    Comprehensive Guide By Philip M. Stahl

    Amazon Review

    "This text is comprehensive, covering topics from interviewing children to
    how evaluators can stay current and experience professional renewal. It
    also has some very practical information relevant to anyone who
    performs child custody evaluations, from old hands to beginners. . . .
    This book is valuable to anyone interested in this subject: evaluators
    who seek to perform this task, attorneys who seek to understand the
    process of evaluation, judges who seek to evaluate the quality of an
    evaluation, and even parents who undergo such an evaluation. It
    presents a significant contribution to the field." --Family and Conciliation
