Gebraucht, aber gut erhalten. - The first book to address the subject of divorce specifically from a child's point of view, this is the result of two years' work by twenty school children between the ages of eleven and fourteen in an open school in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Fourteen of the children had experienced their parents' divorces; the other six worried constantly that their parents might separate. Realizing that all twenty of them had strong feelings on the subject which they had never been encouraged to express, their classroom teacher, Eric Rofes, began a series of discussion groups and assigned supplementary reading. As the project grew, the children interviewed counselors, judges, other children and members of the clergy. In the book that ultimately emerged, they offer advice on everything from how to avoid taking sides to how to deal with parents' new relationships, stepparents and gay parents. They describe the legal process of divorce in language a child can understand and cover such subjects as handling a new living situation, holidays (always difficult), visiting arrangements and how to get support from friends, relatives or counselors. // "This wonderful book is both precise and fair; it is serious and consoling reading for any child caught in the subject, and essential reading for any parent." - John Irving. // Different Kinds of Families - War in the Household - The Decision to Separate - Separation: It's Not the End of the World - The Legal Issues - Getting Help from Counseling - The First Legal Day of Divorce - Weekend Santa - Stepparents and Other People Do We Turn Out Differently?
