My six-year-old daughter loves this workbook. I think it is because it started out with questions about things OTHER than divorce, like "list three things that make you happy," and "draw a picture of you doing something you love." It eased into the more emotionally-charged issues, so by the time we got to them, she was comfortable with the process. I would recommend it, and the companion book for adults.

A practical and helpful resource for counselors and therapists working with children of divorce. Other helpful books on this topic include:

I have used this book for years and loved it in my clinical work with children and families. I have used it adaptively in group setting work in schools and other settings for divorce groups as well. Super resource.

Although this book covers many important topics related to divorce, the activities are mostly "paper-pencil" and therefore not very engaging for children.

Other books for mental health professionals working with children of divorce include:

Creative Interventions for Children of Divorce

Complete Group Counseling Program for Children of Divorce: Ready-To-Use Plans & Materials for Small & Large Groups, Grades 1-6

good book, but not very school social work friendly, unless you buy a copy for each student.
