Through brief, structured written activities and a tone of kindness and support, they offer your child a chance to work through their experiences with self-awareness and a sense of competence."

--Douglas Darnell, PhD, CEO of PsyCare, Inc., and author of Divorce Casualties
"This is an excellent workbook for children whose parents are separated or divorced. As I read Getting Through My Parents' Divorce I wondered how this book will come into the hands of youngsters who will benefit from it. Perhaps therapists or school counselors will give this book to children from divorced families. The authors, Amy J. L. Baker and Katherine C. Andre, suggest that a parent could give this workbook to his or her child and perhaps help the child with some of the activities. Even better, let's hope that in some families, the divorcing parents will join together in providing this book to their child--and all of them will find valuable lessons in its pages."
--William Bernet, MD, Professor Emeritus in the department of psychiatry at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, TN
"Exceptionally well written, organized, and presented, Getting Through My Parents' Divorce is very highly recommended and ideal for use with children of divorced or divorcing parents who are ages 5 to 12 and in grades K-6."--Midwest Book Review
