Our Review

This interactive workbook provides children navigating their parents' separation with forty thoughtful activities designed to help them process complex emotions and adapt to family changes. The exercises guide young readers through practical strategies for managing stress, avoiding involvement in parental conflicts, and coping with challenging transitions like when a parent begins dating again. Written with sensitivity and understanding, the workbook creates a safe space for children ages six through twelve to explore their feelings about divorce through writing, drawing, and reflection.

What makes this resource particularly valuable is its direct engagement with the real-world challenges children face during family restructuring, offering concrete tools rather than abstract advice. Kids who feel overwhelmed by changing family dynamics will find comfort in having their experiences validated while learning healthy coping mechanisms. This workbook serves as both an emotional outlet and a practical guide, helping young readers build resilience during one of life's most difficult transitions.
