Description
How do you talk to your children about your divorce? How are you able to best care for their responses? Here’s a children’s book and parenting tool rolled into one. It’s Not Your Fault, Koko Bear is a picture book designed to be read by parents to their children. Koko Bear’s parents are getting a divorce, and Koko, a preschool-aged unisex bear, isn’t happy about it. “I don’t like this divorce. I don’t need two homes,” Koko says. Koko Bear’s story doesn’t minimize kids’ pain, but it doesn’t wallow in it either. The message is positive: children are reassured that their feelings are natural, that their parents still love and will take care of them, and that the divorce isn’t their fault. At the bottom of each page, there are bullet points for parents that give information and advice about what the kids are going through, and one of the best ways to care for each issue as it arises. (Ages 3 to 7 and parents)
