Divorced parent and author Anne Hooper has radically re-written and modernised this vital resource book of the past 30 years to suit the needs of today’s separating and divorcing parents. Ultimately child-centred, this book advises and informs parents on how to tell their children about their separation, how to answer their questions, what kind of behaviour to expect, the best methods of parenting and how to get through the first difficult months. A completely new chapter has been added with specific techniques to show parents how to help children talk about their feelings, assist them to take on reasonable responsibilities, encourage them in their achievements, offer them a sense of being in control of their lives (very important when so much feels out of their control) and give them a sense of self-worth and self-value.
Out of the 150,000 divorcing couples in the UK, around two-thirds of them have children under the age of 16. In addition, there is an unknown but substantial number of couples separating after living together who also have children under 16. At least one in three children will experience parental separation before the age of 16. Each child goes through a period of unhappiness but if parented well is likely to be helped back into good communication with Mum and Dad and settle into a normal pattern of development. This kind of book is also indispensable as an aid for parents during a time of often painful crisis. Previously recommended to divorcing couples by Family Court judges, 'Getting Your Children Through Divorce' offers sound advice, coping strategies, psychological over-views and parenting insight.
