Thanks for that great interview. Jennifer’s information is right on target and so important to take to heart.
I am recognized as The Voice of Child-Centered Divorce. My own experience more than a decade ago led to my writing my new book, How Do I Tell the Kids about the Divorce? A Create-a-Storybook⢠Guide to Preparing Your Children — With Love! I, too, had the pleasure of being interviewed by Mr. Rosen about my unique approach to discussing divorce with your children.
What makes this book unique is that I donât just tell parents what to say. I say it for them! I use fill-in-the-blank age-appropriate templates to show parents how to create a storybook sharing family photos and history as a successful way to have the tough break-the-news conversation.
Therapists, attorneys, mediators and other professionals around the U.S. and beyond have endorsed the book, attesting to the value of my innovative storybook approach. Six therapists contribute their expertise to the book, as well. My purpose is to raise the consciousness of divorcing couples so they will stop, talk and create a caring plan of action before having that first crucial conversation with their children.
I have also created the Child-Centered Divorce Network where parents can access free articles, my ezine, blog, valuable resources and services to help them create a âchild-centered divorceâ which will reap significant rewards in the months, years and decades to come.
