It’s a
pleasure today to welcome author Renee Smith Ettline back to Thoughts in
Progress to share some information about a subject that many families across
the nation (and world) face daily and that’s how divorce affects the children
in the household.
Renee’s
book is Children Coping with Your Divorce?
What Parents Can Do to Help.
This is such an important book
for parents who are divorced or getting divorced to read. In my state, the
courts require divorcing couples to take a parenting class but it is only 3
hours and can't cover everything. This book gives parents tools for ways to
help their kids cope. I have been divorced, and even the most well-adjusted kid
has trouble. If you have a kid like mine who is good at hiding their true
feelings, you will need this even more.

Renee,
thanks for joining us today and sharing this information. This is a difficult
event that unfortunately touches the lives of many.
Thanks,
everyone for stopping by today during Renee’s visit. Do you know of other tips
that would help ease the stress of divorce for youngsters (and adults)?
What an excellent idea. I am sad that it is necessary - but it is.
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child, thank you for your comment.
DeleteHi Mason - I imagine this could help a lot of people - if read, before life becomes out of hand during the divorce. Keeping it amicable is an essential for everyone's sakes ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great book on a difficult and important topic. This should be able to help many parents handle the transition better.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth that's a good point. Adults are often struggling to deal with their own reactions to divorce and may not be fully aware of how their words and actions impact their kids.
DeleteSad that so many people need that book these days. But kids do end up bearing the brunt of a divorce.
ReplyDeleteYes Alex, kids are always the victims in a divorce. Divorce happens whether they want it or not. Parents can do so many things to minimize negative effects. This book highlights actions parents can take.
DeleteI love the idea of special attention to kids who are coping with their parents' divorce. It's not easy under any circumstances, and it's important to have ways to help get kids through it.
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a wonderful book for a lot of families struggling with divorce. So glad to know about it!
ReplyDeleteA much needed book. A parenting class for divorcing couples is better than what we have here.
