I was contacted by fellow child of divorce advocate and author Tamara Schmitz today. She sent me the link to an adorable, uplifting group reading of her book, "Standing On My Own Two Feet."Addison expressed how his parents' love will always be there and will help him to be strong! With the help of parents, teachers, and caring adults, we can help all children to be 100% sure that their parents' love for them, like Addison, the main character of "Standing on My Own Two Feet". :)
Children, Divorce, and Love!
Of course, most children don't feel like Addison does, at least not at the beginning. They need reassurance of their parents' love, and the reassurance of the fact that their parents will always be there for them (if that is true). They want help dealing with the changes in their lives and they want to learn how to help themselves to be happy again. Older children need to know that their parents will hold things steady at home, so that they can focus on school, extracurricular activities, and friendships. Adults: we are the solution!
