Learning From Divorce: How

to Take Responsibility, Stop

the Blame, and Move On

By: LaCrosse, Robert; Coates, Christie
Published by: John Wiley & Sons, Inc
In this groundbreaking boo the authors explain that divorce can be viewed as a developmental process, a period of transformation and growth. They help the reader understand why the divorce happened in the first place— how unrealistic expectations of a permanent honeymoon or a partner who would satisfy their infantile needs and solve all their childhood problems have so often led to immature and self-centered behavior. In place of this attitude, Learning from Divorce provides the reader with a more realistic view of marriage as a long-term commitment requiring loyalty, compromise, devotion, perseverance, and selflessness. This boo shows that the rewards of love and family exceed most any other joy or aspiration in one's life.

Learning to Love

By: Rose, Lorraine
Published by: Australian Council for Educational Research
It may be one of the most natural processes, but becoming a parent can be as daunting as it is rewarding. Having a baby changes everything, and the biggest area of change for new parents is also one of the least explored: how do you relate to this new person in your life? Learning to Love explores the evolving relationship between mother, father and baby. Focusing on the first year of life, it looks at the emotional dimension of becoming a parent, and offers an understanding of the baby’s emotional needs. Also examined are: • key mental and emotional milestones in the first 12 months; • parent’s changing relationship with each other as well as their baby; • growth of both the traditional and non-traditional family unit; and • case studies of common parenting dilemmas. Based on infant observation, psychodynamic theory and personal experience, Learning to Love is an informative, warm and engaging boo for the prospective and new parent.

By: Gold, Alison

Inspiring stories of individuals-aged 46 to 97 -who experienced a resurgence of passion in their lives when they least expected it. F. Scott Fitzgerald believed there are no second acts in American lives. Yet at least as far as love is concerned, the statistics indicate otherwise. These days, more and more people are falling in love and embarking on deep and fulfilling romantic relationships in the later part of their lives. At a time when the specter of spending one's final years alone can seem only slightly less intimidating than Internet dating, the subjects profiled in this boo tossed their hearts up in the air with the hope that love just might spring eternal. And just how different is the game at age seventy-five than it was at age twenty-five? This boo forms an engaging meditation on the ways that love itself alters and matures as we grow older. Organized around the distinct and often surprising themes that emerged from Gold's conversations with lovers from all walks of life-love suddenly appearing out of the shadows following a determination to find it at whatever cost; second-act relationships that represent 180-degree turns for the parties involved; a sense of finally coming home to the one you were meant to be with in the final stages of life-Love in the Second Act will remind anyone, young or old, that the quest for love is never-ending.

Married to the Military: The

Employment and Earnings of

Military Wives Compared with

Those of Civilian Wives

By: Hose , James; Asch, Beth; Fair, C. Christine; Martin, Craig; Mattoc , Michael
Published by: RAND
Today's military is a military of families; many service members are married, and many of their spouses wor and contribute to family income. But military wives earn less than civilian wives, and this study seeks to understand why. The authors find that military wives, knowing they are likely to move frequently, are willing to accept jobs that offer a lower wage rather than to use more of their remaining time at a location to find a higher-wage job. Compared with civilian wives, military wives tend to wor somewhat less if they have young children but somewhat more if their children are older. The probability that military wives wor declines with age, although it changes little with age in the civilian world. This probability declines more rapidly for wives with a college education, most of whom are officers? wives. Although it is often assumed that military families live in rural areas where the job opportunities for wives are poor, the authors found fairly small differences in the location of civilian versus military families. Finally, whereas in the civilian world an increase in the unemployment rate leads to a slight increase in the probability that wives worked during the year and the probability that they worked full-time (responding as "added workers" to the loss or threat of loss of their husbands? wor ), military wives appear to respond as workers with a more permanent attachment to the labor force.

The Natural Child makes a compelling case for a return to attachment parenting, a child-rearing approach that has come naturally for parents throughout most of human history. In this insightful guide, parenting specialist Jan Hunt links together attachment parenting principles with child advocacy and homeschooling philosophies, offering a consistent approach to raising a loving, trusting, and confident child. The Natural Child dispels the myths of "tough love," building baby's self-reliance by ignoring its cries, and the necessity of spanking to enforce discipline. Instead, the boo explains the value of extended breast-feeding, family co-sleeping, and minimal child-parent separation. Homeschooling, like attachment parenting, nurtures feelings of self-worth, confidence, and trust. The author draws on respected leaders of the homeschool movement such as John Taylor Gatto and John Holt, guiding the reader through homeschool approaches that support attachment parenting principles. Being an ally to children is spontaneous for caring adults, but intervening on behalf of a child can be awkward and surrounded by social taboo. The Natural Child shows how to stand up for a child's rights effectively and sensitively in many difficult situations. The role of caring adults, points out Hunt, is not to give children "lessons in life"-but to employ a variation of The Golden Rule, and treat children as we would like to have been treated in childhhood.
