The problem you're going to have is applying probabilistic research to specific
kiddos. There are multiple issues to consider (I recently was part of a
presentation on this issue regarding children under 3 at the ABA FLS meeting in
Ft. Worth) and there is no "one" recommendation for children. Depending on the
specific needs of the child and other fact/case specific issues you're going to
have different recommendations. I'll try and post my cites later when I'm able
to grab my copy of the paper we did.

Subject: [CollabLaw] Parenting Time Research?
Josh Rampi asked me to post this - please reply to hopecounseling@xxxxxxxxxxx -
Kemi
Dear List-Serve,
I am looking for any recommendations for literature (journal articles, books,
news reports) regarding parenting time schedules and their effectiveness. I
have a client who is interested in learning more about how the following
impacts
her/his children (children between ages 9-12 years old): 1) the number of
transitions vs. block times with each parent, 2) importance of face to face
time
with each parent at the cost of more transitions for the children. The client
is strongly in favor of longer periods of time with each parent, one week
rotation (i.e. 7 days with each parent, transition, than 7 days with the other
parent), but is open to considering other options if the literature states
otherwise.
I'm not sure if there are resources available to address these specific
questions, but thought that I could tap our collective brains to see what's out
there.
Please email your responses to hopecounseling@xxxxxxxxxxx
Thanks for your help,
