Mom's House, Dad's House for Kids

By Isokina Ricci, PhD

Written by the author of Mom's House, Dad's House, which has helped parents deal with divorce for more than 25 years, this version speaks directly to older kids about adjusting to living in two households and understanding the emotions that come along with it. The book encourages active thinking with questions to ask yourself, fill-in-the blanks, and quizzes, and suggests kids keep a journal to record their emotions. The 200-plus-page book may be overwhelming for children, so parents might want to read it with them.
