As a psychotherapist who works with both children and their parents, I sometimes wish I had a tool that could help children find the words and the courage to explore the complex feelings that are bothering them. This book could be such a tool. It covers the basic issues that most children face when their parents are divorcing, and explores their complex feelings in a safe and simple format. It also offers some excellent tools for dealing with those feelings. The language seems to be aimed at a child between 9 and 12 years old, but with an adult’s help, even first and second graders could understand some of it, and some adolescents could use it to trigger a deeper exploration of their own problems. Although the tools for dealing with feelings are excellent, many of them could have been more useful if they had been placed in the context of the “I” statement—a skill that is really necessary in order to use most of the tools in the book, but one which many children find very difficult to practice—especially with their parents.
This workbook provides practical tools to begin coping with the uncertainties and difficulties brought about by divorce. It has great activities to practice and learning new ways to handle situations. It is a great tool to use for children. Also found it helpful for other family members.
We have barely gotten started, and it looks very hopeful. Excellent layout, and clearly designed to help children. A workbook such as this one, should be a requirement for divorcing parents to provide their child(ren). "The best interest of the children" I'm so worn thin on that loose phrase everyone loves to manipulate, but this workbook, truly has the best interests of the children in mind.
Great informative book, great seller, would buy again, thank you.
