Kate Scharff

Pole kahtlustki, lahutused on rasked. Selles lahku minevate vanemate lastele mõeldud käsiraamatus käsitleb lahutusterapeut kõiki olulisi kusimusi ning annab hädavajalikku nõu, et aidata lastel sellel valusal ja segasel ajajärgul toime tulla. *** Väga põhjalik raamat, kus olulised teemad on ausalt ette võetud. Autor annab lapsele võimaluse mõista täiskasvanute keerulist otsust, säilitades seejuures austuse vanemate valiku ja inimliku ebatäiuse suhtes. Lugedes saavad nimetuse asjad, mida laps pole varem kogenud ning see aitab vähendada abitust. Võimalus lugeda õiguse kohta väljendada oma tundeid ja vajadusi on vajalik, et valusa muutusega paremini kohaneda. Raamat on kainestav ja toetav lugemine ka lahutavatele vanematele, kes oma käitumist ja laste tegelikke vajadusi sageli kõrvalt ei näe. Anne KleinbergEesti lastepsuhhiaater ja pereterapeut

A kid-centric guide for the children of parents going through a separation or divorce, written by internationally renowned divorce therapist Kate Scharff, MSW. Children of separating or divorcing parents often feel alone and alienated, as though no one understands what they’re going through. They need reassurance that their feelings are normal, and age-appropriate answers to their many questions. But divorce is confusing and overwhelming – thinking and talking about it are hard, for kids and grown-ups alike. Kate Scharff (a child of divorce herself) addresses many of kids’ 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 – even in the trickiest situations. This book, with illustrations by Annika Le Large, is suitable for kids to read by themselves or with a parent. It’s frank, honest, and open. But while the author doesn’t 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’t have to be a bad turning point. In fact, divorce can make lots of things easier over time. We Need to Talk About Divorce is the next book in Neon Squid’s critically acclaimed series tackling subjects that are hard to talk about for kids aged 10 and above.
