Developing resilience in children amid a divorce is a book for divorced parents who wish to create lifelong strategies for resilience and personal empowerment for their children. Parents going through a divorce often worry that their children will be irrevocably harmed by the disruption. These fears can lead parents to focus on the wrong things when trying to support their children. This book provides specific strategies for parents to help their children during difficult times and to foster their self-confidence. Most parents do their best to protect their children from disappointments and losses. While this is often possible, sometimes, as in the case of a divorce, children face inevitable emotional pain. Depending on how these crisis times are managed, children can learn to see themselves as victims or as resilient, confident, and emotionally strong.
