In any divoce, children are physically divided by the fact that they must travel between their parent's homes. "We're Having A Tuesday" gives a voice to children. It helps them acknowledge and resolve their feelings about the pain and the joy they are experiencing. I believe it is one of the most useful books on this topic in print today.

Who doesn't know a child who hates the back and forth between his or her parents after a divorce? We're Having a Tuesday is the perfect book to share with kids of divorce--even better, do it when the separation starts--don't wait for the final. Kids learn the positive of each of their "homes"--the end result is that they aren't as pulled or as grumpy as they go from Mom to Dad to Mom to Dad to Mom. Divorce therapists, mediators, attorneys and anyone who works with the families of divorce should keep this book in their office. Highly recommended.
