When My Parents Forgot How to Be Friends: Helping Kids Cope with Separation and Divorce (Let's Talk About It!) Paperback – March 1, 2005

Love this Book, worked very well for my children to understands because mommy and daddy are divorce doesn't mean there family is not normal. They still read it even after a year and a half when they need it. It is very good and I recommend for any parents trying to ease this difficult time in their family life. Kids will love it and is great to start conversations about how they feel.

I bought this for my 2 1/2 year old (almost 3) because she remembers when we all lived together, and doesn't really understand why daddy lives somewhere else now. The concept of divorce is too complicated for her at this age, but the idea of 2 people who forget how to be friends is something she CAN figure out. It's still a little over her head, but it's a useful beginning.

Good book for when children are just finding out about their parents' divorce or starting to go through it.I also helps them know that they are not alone and that other children are going through the same things as they are.

This is helping my granddaughter to deal with the selfish ones sided things her father does. I feel sad for her because of the things he says to her.

This book wasn't really for my family. It's more suited to couples who divorce but are successful at co-parenting. There were themes that my child could relate to, though it reinforced the idea that when parents split up, the non-custodial parent will always be there.

I found this a very sweet book, with beautiful illustrations, appropriate for children age 4-8 dealing with divorce. However, it isn't so helpful for children who aren't in contact with one of their parents on a regular basis. I'm still looking for something like this!

This book was great for my friends 5 year old daughter who was struggling post divorce. General points that are easy to relate.

I strongly suggest this book. As a mental health therapist I feel this book promotes sharing of feelings. It has been my experience young children up to age 8 or so identify with this material if they have divorced parents.
