22.01.07 - Book of the Week "Caught in the Middle"

Sunday, 21 January 2007

This week’s book is called ‘Caught in the Middle - Helping children cope with separation and divorce ’, by Anne Charlish – Consultants Ed John Tripp & Monica Cockett

Synopsis

The problem of children being seriously damaged - psychologically or materially - by the separation of their parents is a substantial one. One in four children will experience divorce before the age of 16. How much this disruption affects children is governed largely by the behaviour of the adults involved. In this accessible book Anne Charlish encourages adults to become more attuned to the needs of their children and make them a priority during this painful time.
