This review is from: Children of Divorce: Helping Kids When Their Parents Are Apart (Paperback)

Both as a pastor who gives this book as the best resource to those involved with helping children through split homes and as a divorced father who's daughter still has emotional scar tisuue, this book provides great advice.

Unique is this book's advice given by sex of the child, by age and then by relationship to the child, i.e. grandparent, spouse who has custody, non-custodial parent, church, school, etc.

So well done, emphasizing the two main thoughts that stay with divorced children and how to help them with these two.
