This book is based on the group session for children of divorced parents. In this book you'll find exercises designed to increase communication, understanding, and togetherness between parents and kids. You'll find suggestions on how to break the divorce news to a child, how to handle the holidays, visitation, custody arrangements, anger, discipline, co-parenting, single parenting, overcompensation, sorrow, custody fights, and much more. Because kids often feel responsible for their parents' breakup, they need focused therapy to help work through feelings of isolation, sorrow, and guilt. This book lets kids know they are not alone and they are not to blame.

This book focuses on the preschool to first grader. The story follows Addison, who's parents get divorced. With two homes now, Addison is reassured that he is safe in both homes, and loved in both homes. With simple, and often repeated, statements like "Mom and Dad do not always get along. But it's not because of me," Addison learns that he is not to blame for his parents' divorce. The main points of this book are unconditional love and not being blamed for the divorce. Because of this book's positive attitude and easy-to-understand message, this book is an excellent choice for young children, and their parents.
