Good Parenting Through Your Divorce: How to Recognize, Encourage, and Respond to Your Child's Feelings and Help Them Get Through Your Divorce





Divorce is a way of life in America today, with over one million couples dissolving their unions each year. And millions of children are profoundly affected by their parents’ divorce. Negative consequences of divorce for children include lowered self-esteem, poor academic and professional performance, and difficulty in forming healthy relationships of their own. Yet this need not be the case.

For nearly fifteen years, the Kids’ Turn workshop program has been helping parents and children identify and cope with the issues that arise out of separation and divorce. Research shows that Kids’ Turn works by giving children tools to confront the pain of divorce and move on, and by sensitizing caregivers to what their children are going through. Now, for the first time, the Kids’ Turn wisdom has been distilled for individual readers. Author Mary Ellen Hannibal presents step-by-step the key topics that concern all parents and their children throughout the divorce and beyond, including:

• How to recognize, cultivate, and respond to your child’s feelings • How divorce affects your child’s development and how to support your child’s healthy growth over time • How to connect with your children through better communication and how to manage communication with your co-parent • How to support your child’s expressive self • The challenge of behavior and discipline • The dos and don’ts of shared parenting

Good Parenting Through Your Divorce includes stories of real children, parents and families in their everyday settings. It is intended for every divorced parent, those who are separated but not divorced, same sex parents, never-married parents, single parents--in short, for every kind of changing, blended family in our country today.
