Helping Children Through Divorce or Separation...

Navigating the complexities of divorce can be challenging for children. Resources, whether in the form of illustrated storybooks, counseling, or support groups, are dedicated to helping children cope and heal through the emotional journey of divorce. By providing age-appropriate insights and guidance, we aim to empower children to understand and navigate the changes in their family dynamics, fostering a sense of resilience and emotional well-being.


These illustrated children's storybooks are crafted to facilitate healing within the entire single-parent family. The KIDScope book series is available individually in both hardcover and ebook formats, and they are designed to be accessible, either free of charge or at a nominal price. 


Recognizing the importance of including children in the separation or divorce process, these lyrically written and beautifully illustrated books aim to provide a supportive tool for children's healing, ensuring they understand it is not their responsibility to fix or cause the situation.

I will not leave you, no not me."

Welcome to our Frequently Asked Questions...❓

When your child begins to act out, it seems like, in a business sense that your child is trying to be a President of the family! Some of that is okay because they are stretching their communication legs to state who they are (or think they are) and what they want from the family structure. Set Rules. The best way to circumvent this behavior from repeating over and over is to set rules within the house and also have a conversation with your ex (if you aren't really on speaking terms, then I propose you use e-mail). This conversation will be about creating the same rules in both homes. With consistency and same rules applying, there is less wiggle room for tantrums and mutiny.

The great thing about dating another single parent is that they know what it’s like to go through the challenges of parenting alone. I do suggest, however, you spare them your

marriage or divorce horror stories until a relationship has been a little bit established. There’s nothing like scaring off a date more than letting them know how you’ve suffered or what a jerk your ex is...that is a dating no-no for sure! However, dating someone with children is comforting. It is very wise not to introduce your children to your date unless it is in a group or activity setting; and you should not introduce your date to your children one on one until you are very serious about your relationship. Don’t forget, your children have already suffered one loss; it is wise not to set them up for another if you introduce your dates too soon or too often.

Don't Expect Anything Story Book: Navigating the Realities of Divorce and Managing Expectations, In the often tumultuous journey of divorce, it's crucial not to expect a storybook ending. The qualities that once made your ex-partner wonderful may take unexpected turns post-divorce. Divorce has a way of unraveling the best in us, sometimes revealing anger, passive-aggressiveness, or a shift to seemingly uncaring behavior. Buttons are pushed, fears surface, and the uncertainty of not getting what one wants can lead to challenging dynamics. 


While some fortunate couples manage an amicable separation with the well-being of their children in mind, not everyone experiences such smooth transitions. It's essential to approach divorce with realistic expectations and a level-headed mindset. Consider keeping an emotional insurance policy by seeking support from a therapist or a trusted friend to stay centered throughout the process, always remembering the complexities of the person you are dealing with.

Experts often suggest that healing from a relationship or marriage takes approximately half the time of the duration of the union. Recovering, finding peace, and reinventing one's life and love life require a significant period. Following this general rule, if you were married for ten years, anticipate about five years to truly "get over" it or move on. The aftermath of a divorce prompts reflection, allowing individuals to understand what went wrong, heal, and avoid repeating past mistakes in future relationships. While it may seem like a lengthy process, every experience, whether joyful or painful, contributes to personal growth and development. Gratitude can be found in the lessons learned, even in the face of challenging circumstances and the alteration of our envisioned futures.

The culmination of single parenthood is often marked by the transition from managing the intricacies of solo parenting to the art of navigating an empty nest. The days of juggling finances, balancing work, homework, and play dates come to an end when we send our child off to college. While this separation can be emotionally challenging, it also signifies a new chapter for us. Teenagers, in their quest for independence, may distance themselves in surprising ways, prompting feelings of sadness and nostalgia. Despite any moments of tension, they do appreciate all that we've done for them. 


It's a natural part of the dance of moving away and starting their own lives. Just as we've set up our kids for their new life, it's time to do the same for ourselves. As adults, we've already embarked on a new life after divorce, and now we begin a new chapter – our life. While it may feel daunting, it's an opportunity to let friends know we're more available for outings, plan getaways, and explore ways to meet new people. Keeping a journal can be therapeutic, allowing us to acknowledge and process our feelings without burdening our children with the responsibility of our emotions during their absence.
