Customer Reviews

Exceptional

I am a clinical psychologist, and have recommended this book over and over again. Its the one guide I have seen that covers how to answer questions in developmentally appropriate ways for all ages of children. The author understands how kids of different ages think and what they are likely to be feeling most intensely. What a wonderful guide, and well written!

Fantastic!

This book is great. I didn't realize what exactly was going on in my situation, so I didn't start reading these books until my husband was out of the house, living with his girlfriend. It would be a great book to read prior to anyone moving out, but also good for my situation. Very helpful.

Counselor , parents, grandparents

Kids are the ones that hurt the most in a divorce. They don't have the coping skills to deal with the trauma some of these cherubs experience. They can't comprehend the various facets of divorce. Therefore, this book will help parents and grandparents explain about divorce and resolve those difficult feelings or questions the children may have.

Great Resource for Tough Times

I spotted this book in the library and picked it up. As I began to read, I felt as if the authors knew my own 8-year-old daughter. I was very impressed. So many of the topics covered hit very close to home. It was very reassuring to read.
