The 50/50 Solution

""Sexism should not inform our parenting decisions. Children - and parents - do best when moms AND dads share caregiving responsibilities. The 50/50 Solution: The Surprisingly Simple Choice that Makes Moms, Dads, and Kids Happier and Healthier After a Divorce details the sneaky ways sexism continues to influence (and harm) parents, children, and society and outlines a practical, achievable alternative for separated, divorced, and unmarried parents."" -- Jennifer L.W. Fink, author of Building Boys: Raising Great Guys in a World that Misunderstands Males ""The essence of The 50/50 Solution is so obvious that it is stunning that it is not already the default: Expect moms and dads to take equal care of their kids. Emma lays out the social science supporting why this is so good for children, and challenges many of our old and sexist ideas about how to win at divorce, parenting, work and life."" -- Farnoosh Torabi, Financial Expert, Host of the So Money podcast ""A sharp and thorough take on divorce that's grounded in research and the science of child development. Johnson thinks beyond an outdated and binary battle-between-genders framework, providing a comprehensive guide to coparenting that puts kids first."" -- Jordan Shapiro, PhD, Senior Fellow for the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop, Nonresident Fellow in the Center for Universal Education at the Brookings Institution, and author of Father Figure: How to be a Feminist Dad ""With over 30 years as a divorce attorney, I've seen thousands of families torn apart by divorce. The 50/50 Solution is a game-changer. It's more than a guide; it's a hopeful vision for healthier families and a call for societal change towards gender and racial equality. Emma's work offers practical solutions and a progressive outlook on family dynamics in the modern world."" -- Susan Guthrie, Chair Elect of the American Bar Association Section of Dispute Resolution and host of The Divorce & Beyond Podcast
