Review of Book Written About Divorce for Children, by Adolph Moser

Don't Fall Apart on Saturdays is part of the Emotional Impact Series, published by Landmark Editions, Inc. Written by clinical psychologist, Dr. Adolph Moser, the book recognizes many of the turbulent emotions that those going through divorce, and children in particular, experience. Moser reassures readers that the divorce is not their fault, introduces some of the family changes they may experience along the way, and doles out practical coping strategies, all in an upbeat, readable manner that is especially appealing to young readers.

The book Don't Fall Apart on Saturdays, written by Dr. Adolph Moser, emphasizes the development of coping skills to help children handle their parents' divorce. It's written in a down-to-earth, kid-to-kid fashion designed to draw in young readers and equip them with practical strategies. One of the things that I particularly like about this book is that it's a great selection for independent readers who are just breaking into the world of chapter books.

When you first get this book on divorce for children, you're going to want to sit down and read it together, perhaps multiple times. But over time, your child will enjoy picking it up and reading on his/her own, as a reminder that "I'm not the only one going through this," and "I can do it! I am capable of getting through this." That makes this book one of my top recommendations for independent readers at the elementary level.
