Mark Travers, Ph.D., is an American psychologist with degrees from Cornell University and the University of Colorado Boulder. He is the lead psychologist at Awake Therapy, a telehealth company that provides video and telephone psychotherapy, counseling, and coaching to individuals in over 40 countries worldwide.

Polyamory , the practice of engaging in multiple consensual and intimate relationships with the knowledge and agreement of all involved, challenges traditional views on family structures.Despite common misconceptions that multiple partners can only create confusion or instability, many children in polyamorous families thrive and appreciate the unique support and love they receive from their parents’ partners.

For instance, 5-year-old Jade says she feels excited to visit one of her mother’s romantic partners because “in the back, have a huge pool, that’s ready for swimming. And they have a big hot tub that’s up and running. Plus, at the bottom of the water, there are colors!” As they grow older, they tend to view their lives as more separate from their parents’, which might explain why they don’t form particularly deep connections with these partners as some younger children might. However, they still tend to view them positively.
