They need reassurance that their feelings are normal, and age-appropriate answers to their many questions. But divorce is confusing and overwhelming \u2013 thinking and talking about it are hard, for kids and grown-ups alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kate Scharff (a child of divorce herself) addresses many of kids\u2019 common concerns, such as navigating life in two homes, feeling pressured to choose sides, and adjusting when parents date or remarry. Her central theme is the importance of parent-child communication, and she offers lots of tips for how kids can speak up constructively \u2013 even in the trickiest situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This book, with illustrations by Annika Le Large, is suitable for kids to read by themselves or with a parent. It\u2019s frank, honest, and open. But while the author doesn\u2019t shy away from the painful aspects of the experience, she also reassures her reader that while divorce will always be a sad memory, it doesn\u2019t have to be a bad turning point. In fact, divorce can make lots of things easier over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>We Need to Talk About Divorce&nbsp;<\/em>is the next book in Neon Squid\u2019s critically acclaimed series tackling subjects that are hard to talk about for kids aged 10 and above.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A kid-centric guide for the children of parents going through a divorce or separation, written by internationally renowned divorce therapist Kate Scharff.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":1427,"template":"","book-categories":[44],"class_list":["post-1422","books","type-books","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","book-categories-we-need-to-talk-about"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/neonsquidbooks.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/books\/1422","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/neonsquidbooks.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/books"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/neonsquidbooks.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/books"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neonsquidbooks.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1427"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/neonsquidbooks.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1422"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"book-categories","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neonsquidbooks.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/book-categories?post=1422"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
