Helping Children Cope With Divorce
Rosemary Wells
Divorce is never easy for a child. Many children are hit hard by a sense of guilt and loss when their parents divorce, and their self-confidence and their relationships at school suffer. People who want to help often hesitate because they don't want to appear to be "taking sides," but help and support are a child's lifeline.
HELPING CHILDREN COPE WITH DIVORCE offers advice about practical and emotional problems--what the legal terms mean, coping with residence orders, giving a child room to talk and have a say in major decisions, the possibility of step-parents, and who to turn to for more help with any problem. This new new edition also sets out how mediation services can help, and explains the role of the new Children Act Family Courts Advisory and Support Service.
