Written by leading authorities on child psychology and divorce, this book is a valuable and much needed tool for parents and professionals who work with children struggling with family breakup. Relying on imagination and metaphor, the fifteen stories in this unique anthology provide a safe and effective way to help children understand and cope with their parents' separation and living apart. For generations, stories have been a foundation for teaching children. Through the Eyes of Children continues that tradition and allows children the chance to recover and heal from divorce.

This review is from: Through the Eyes of Children (Paperback)
Each story in this book deals with an "animal child" who has a problem dealing with some aspect of his parent's divorce and, with the help of some caring adult, reaches a solution for coping. The stories are unsophisticated and the morals are "too obvious," and the book obviously is written for young children. So I expected mine - ages 9 and 8 - to be bored silly. To my surprise, they can't get enough of this book! They apparently the directness and the clear relevance to their own dilemmas. Based on this unexpected response of my own kids, I highly recommend it for any children of divorce from pre-school AT LEAST through the age of nine!

We recommend this book to all of our clients with age-appropriate children. We particularly like the sand turtle story--it's touching, sweet, simple, and it gets the point across, i.e., the sand turtle and the sea turtle can't live together but they're both loving parents to their baby turtle.
