Mom’s House, Dad’s House

By Isolina Ricci, PhD

Mom’s House, Dad’s House for Kids speaks directly to older children navigating separation, divorce, remarriage, and life between one or two homes. Rather than simply explaining divorce, it gives kids concrete tools for handling the changes that come with it, including different schedules and household rules, stress and guilt, parental conflict, relationships with family and friends, and adjusting to a new version of family.

With practical tips, worksheets, exercises, and straightforward answers, the book helps children focus on the parts of their experience they can control and build skills for becoming more resilient through family changes.
