My Changing Family: A Guide to Help Young Children Cope with Divorce by Maureen Sangiorgio is written from the viewpoint of Logan, a ten-year-old boy who speaks about the divorce of his parents. He is scared his parents are going to live in different houses but he knows there will be no more fights. He knows he will be living with his mother during the week and his father during weekends. The book gives tips about how to keep the lines of communication open with children and will help to minimize the stress and challenge of these conversations. The questions and answers in the book are also excellent tools to give parents greater perception about what can be expected when it comes to adjusting to their living situations.
