| Parent Footprint Podcasts: Jacqueline Newman on Divorce and Amy Klein on Fertility Issues |
Dr. Dan welcomes two new guests to talk about major life events and how they can impact parenting, with the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic.
 How Parents Can Talk To Their Children About Divorce with Jacqueline Newman
Dr. Dan and Jacqueline discuss modern divorce including:
- The role of Dads requesting shared custody
- The importance of self-care for both parents during the stress of divorce
- Why parents need to keep their marriage's intimacy problems away from children - even adult children
- There really are some benefits of divorce for children
- How to talk to kids about divorce
The Trying Game with Amy Klein
Amy Klein wrote the "Fertility Diary" column for The New York Times's Motherlode blog for three years.
Today,
Amy
writes frequently about health and fertility for publications such as
Newsweek, Slate, The Washington Post,
and other national media.
Amy shares how she finally became a mother after nine rounds of IVF, four miscarriages, three acupuncturists, two rabbis and one reproductive immunologist. Amy wrote The Trying Game
because it is the book she wishes she'd had when she was trying (and trying and trying) to get and stay pregnant.
