Divorce and Separation, The Essential Guide

Divorce and Separation: The Essential Guide

SEPARATED parents are reported to have a lot to answer for – from ‘yob culture’ and binge drinking to dire predictions about a child’s future inability to hold down a relationship.

Although the UK divorce rate is falling, so-called “broken homes” are said to be at fault for many of the pressing concerns of today’s society. No wonder loving parents who face a split with their partner feel bewildered and scared about what is to become of their children – not to mention the trauma that split will bring.

Linda Jones’ positive and supportive book, Divorce and Separation - The Essential Guide, shows that it is not divorce that wreaks long term havoc on a family’s life, but the way it is handled. It helps tackle problems head on, showing parents, carers and those concerned about children’s wellbeing how to find solutions.

Books for children about divorce and separation

THERE'S news here about a new book which helps parents get to grips with how their children are feeling in the midst of a divorce.

The book was the brainchild of volunteers and staff at Portsmouth-based charity The Roberts Centre. Well done them. I'm sorry I can't find a name of the book mentioned in the news report.

There are also already several story books designed to help your children if you are coping with a family separation.
