5.0 out of 5 stars Really helpful, April 6, 2001

This review is from: My Parents Are Divorced, Too: A Book for Kids by Kids (Paperback)

I am a recently divorced mother of two young boys, ages 8 and 9. I could tell the divorce upset them, but I couldn't get them to talk about it--until we read this book together. It is written by kids and they talk about how they felt when their parents divorced. My boys could relate and it helped them start talking about their feelings. I recommend this book to any divorcing parent with kids between the ages of 8-12.

This review is from: My Parents Are Divorced, Too: A Book for Kids by Kids (Paperback)

This book is great for a pre-teen age group. It covers a lot of feelings that the child may feel and lets them know those feelings are ok. I would not recommend this book for children under 8. It is a little mature for children younger than that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for children, September 16, 2000

This review is from: My Parents Are Divorced, Too: A Book for Kids by Kids (Paperback)

I was looking for a book to give to my nieces because my sister-in-law was getting a divorce and the kids were having a difficult time. This book was recommended by a therapist. The book did the trick--helped the kids talk about what was bothering them. I asked the kids why they liked the book and they said because it was written by kids like them. They thought it was great. That's the best testimonial out there.
