It’s been two years since our family experienced the split of divorce. In the beginning it was very difficult for the children to understand what was happening, express their feelings and manage the difficulties that come with transitioning between two homes. One of the many things I did to help them was to seek out age-appropriate books on divorce.

In this short video, I feature four of the books I’ve found particularly helpful for my children.

 

Books mentioned in the video:

Two Homes by Claire Masurel

My Family’s Changing: A First Look At Family Break Up by Pat Thomas

Standing on my Own Two Feet by Tamara Schmitz

Hallmark Recordable Storybooks

If you’ve found other children’s books on divorce helpful, please share them in the comments.

 

Disclosure: I was not paid or compensated in any way for these reviews. I purchased all of the books in the video, based upon my own research. Not all of the divorce books I own are featured here  — I only shared the ones I recommend.

    I appreciate your advice on previewing books before sharing them with your child. The Hallmark book is such a cool idea!
    Thanks for sharing Missy!

    Thanks for the comment, Traci. I find reading the books in advance prepares me for the discussion and also to know what to omit. Another example is step-parents. One of the books introduces that concept and I found that was way too early to talk about it with my kids when we were right in the middle of getting divorced. By reading the book in advance I wasn’t caught off guard and prepared to omit that piece.

    You’re very camera friendly, my friend! +1 for Avery. Love her!

      Ah, thanks Leah! I’ve done a few of these and don’t think I’m entirely comfortable with it yet, but it does get easier each time. :) Thanks for watching and glad you got to see Avery’s cameo! <3
