Getting Your Children Through Separation and Divorce

Synopsis

Author Anne Hooper has radically re-written and modernised this vital resource book of the past 30 years, (formerly titled 'Divorce and Your Children', 0860516504) to suit the needs of today's separating and divorcing parents. Ultimately child-centred it informs parents how to tell your children about your separation, how to answer their questions, what kind of behaviour to expect and the best methods of parenting. At least one in three children will experience parental separation before the age of sixteen. Each child goes through a period of unhappiness but if parented well is likely to be helped back into good communication with Mum and Dad and settle into a normal pattern of development. This kind of book is also indispensable as an aid for parents during a time of often painful crisis. Previously recommended to divorcing couples by Family Court judges, 'Getting Your Children Through Divorce' offers sound advice, coping strategies, psychological over-views and parenting insight.
