Publisher's summary

Divorce has been considered particularly disruptive for children due to the fact that it occurs during childhood. While adults may have faced several losses and disappointments in life, for many children, the divorce of their parents is their first life crisis.

It is one of the most stressful events in the lives of children affected, with repercussions that are ongoing throughout the lives of these children.

Some children see divorce as a personal tragedy while others see it as an escape from parental stress and conflict. Children commonly experience fear, sadness, anger, guilt, loneliness, rejection, regression, academic problems, physical conditions, as well as sleeping and eating problems in response to parental divorce. Children report a sense of helplessness due to the lack of control and limited input they have regarding divorce-related decisions.

Not worth your time

Most of the ideas provided in this very short book are common sense that most adults would understand. If you are into your divorce situation for a while this is not going to provide any insight into your child. Would not recommend.

great tool for counselors

This book was a very useful tool for my counseling practice. It offers great activities to do with children to get them talking and it covers a lot of important information about children and divorce.

Good for idea stimulation

Good ideas but I recommend modifying a few activities to personalize to your client's needs. Not everything is super usable, but much more so than other activity books.

An essential book

This book breaks down the basics for families living under two roofs. It simplifies a very complicated, emotional process with rational, logical solutions. It is a must for any parents who share custody of their children.

Helps the kids find happiness

Realistic for today's world. Sure, it would be nice if we all lived in the Leave-it-to-Beaver world with the white picket fence - but we don't. Instead of suffering guilt and pain.

Good information


There is very good information in this book. I gave it four stars instead of five because the writing is pretty dry making the book a bit hard to get through.
