My guest today is Dr. Robert Emery, Ph.D and director of the Center for Children and Families and the Law at University of Virginia, who serves on the boards of 11 professional journals.
As the author of “The Truth About Children and Divorce: Dealing with the Emotions So You and Your Children Can Thrive”, Dr. Emery joins me to reveal how our powerful emotions and the way we handle them shape how we divorce—and whether our children suffer or thrive in the long run. His message is hopeful, yet realistic—divorce is invariably painful, but parents can help promote their children’s resilience.
The effects of divorce on children are one of the most popular subjects I receive questions about, so if divorce is in your life – or possibly your future – you need to hear today’s show that offers parents a new road map through divorce.
