help for kids of divorce

Books and or films can be a helpful way to start conversations with your kids about tough topics. Often it’s easier and less stressful for children to talk about what’s happening in a book or film than what’s going on in their own lives.

Keep in mind, while a resource may be recommended, that doesn’t mean it’s the best resource for your children. Every family’s needs and circumstances are different, be sure to preview books or videos before giving them to your children.
