A kid-centric guide for the children of parents going through a divorce or separation, written by internationally renowned divorce therapist Kate Scharff.
There are no two ways about it: break-ups are horrible. No matter how well-intentioned parents can be during a divorce or separation process, inevitably the kids end up getting hurt. There are plenty of books about divorce for adults, but We Need to Talk About Divorce is a new book that puts kids front and centre.
Featuring illustrations by Annika Le Large, this approachable book deals with concerns kids might have, from living in two homes to getting caught in the middle of arguments and feeling forced to choose a side. A central theme of the book is enabling kids to feel heard during the process and Kate Scharff includes lots of tips for how kids can talk to their parents – even in the trickiest circumstances.
This book is suitable for kids to read by themselves or with a parent. It’s frank, honest, and open about the emotions involved in a divorce. It doesn’t shy away from the pain of separation, but it does explain how divorce can end up being a positive thing in the longer term.
We Need to Talk About Divorce is the next book in Neon Squid’s critically-acclaimed series tackling subjects that are hard to talk about for kids aged 10 and above.
