Customer Reviews

The help I needed, the book I was looking for!

This book is not just for very young children. My 11 yo daughter had so much anger wrapped around our divorce that we just couldn't even talk. This book was the break-through we needed to begin talking, crying, understanding, and moving on. She made this book her own, colored the pictures, and had us read it together multiple times, using it to begin discussions about the issues that troubled her.

I highly recommend this book!

I bought this book because I didn't know how to talk to my daughters about the divorce. Reading through this story gave us the words to discuss difficult issues. I recommended this book to the other parents in my divorce recovery group. They also were grateful to have a way to talk about divorce with their kids.

Kids with various personality types get specific coping tips

As an elementary school counselor, I have many children referred to me for support during their parents' divorce. This is the best book I have found for giving specific, insightful tips, targeting children's specific personality types. A quiet, introspective child experiences divorce differently than an extremely outgoing child. Dr. Nightingale gives tips for the whole divorce process, from beginning to end. Concepts are presented with gentleness and grace. As District Counselor, I have purchased a copy for each of the elementary school counselors in our district. We all use this book often and appreciate it!

Helped my son and I talk about divorce

I love this book. It helped me talk to my son about his concerns and feelings as we went through an uncomfortable divorce. This book helped me explain to him that he was not to blame for the problems between his mother and I. As he used the workbook pages it helped him express his fears and let me demonstrate that I heard his concerns. I was also able to show him that I will always love him, so much so that now, six months later, we talk a lot more than before and are becoming fast friends. Thanks for your helpful insight

A necessary tool for all who work with divorced families

Families that are transitioning through a divorce and the children, in particular, benifit highly from Nightingale's, My Parents Still Love Me Even Though They are Getting Divorced. My work as a therapist consists of many families with divorce issues, this comprehensive book is an excellent addition to my office. Many of the families I work with order a copy for their own use ( it is still in print and available). I encourage all persons interested in creating a healthy environment for those persons who are challenged with divorce issues to buy this book now
