Book Overview

"Dr. Brenda Dozier has been my number one choice for the referral of my most challenging couples and families. I am so glad that she has taken the time to share her wit and wisdom in For the Children's Sake..."--Peggy Thorton, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist

Divorce hurts children. Divorce is ranked number two on the most significant life events chart. For children, teens, and college-age children, only the death of a parent is rated as more traumatizing. The degree of the pain, however, is related to the conflict between the parents.

For The Children's Sake... will explain how children at all stages and ages deal with divorce. You will hear testimonies from children who have sat in Dr. Dozier's therapy office and those words of wisdom will help motivate you to parent together after the marriage ends.

Down-to-earth suggestions will help you determine when to seek professional help for you and/or your children.

For The Childern's saKe...A MUST for divorced parents

Anyone looking for a quick yet very informative book on how to help your children through a divorce (amicable or not) I strongly reccommend this book. It gives good information on how to assist children at any age from infant to adulthood. It suggests ways for the parents to keep their children in focuse during times that may otherwise detract your attention from them. The key is BOTH parents should have this book. And BOTH parents must practice the philosophy of the book. I have been seperate for almost nine months and I purchased an extra book for my estranged wife. My daughter and I have made arts and crafts for her mom and that has helped the "parenting" relationship between her and I. Which in turn is only positive for the child.
