Abstract
How do children construct a sense of home while living in more than one dwelling? This book aims at answering this question by examining how children living in shared physical custody (SPC) construct, define and negotiate their place within each of their family dwelling, how they accommodate and appropriate this multi-local way of life, and, ultimately, how they articulate their family residences into a sense of “home” that synthetizes their multiple belongings.
