We’re Having A Tuesday will help parents and children of divorce. It begins a conversation, by opening up pathways to talk with children about the effects of living in a shared custody (split custody) situation. Kids who are living the all too familiar experience of living in two houses easily relate to the story where the little girl is acting out and having to remind herself of the good things about both houses. As far as kids divorce books go, this one is a great discussion launch pad to talk about dealing with divorce with children.
Parents or other bystanders (teachers, counselors, grandparents, caregivers) can share the wonderful story about the little girl bouncing between her parents, as she struggles with living between two homes. She misses simple things like her dogs, her bike and her clothes. She misses things about Mommy. She misses things about Daddy. Some of her behaviors reflect it. She eventually discovers that her parents' love is with her no matter where she is living. The story refers to her carrying their love in a very special kind of backpack wherever she goes. It is a great reminder that the love between parent and child doesn’t change because of divorce.
This book beautifully illustrates a touching story and includes an interactive element at the end to facilitate conversation about how kids are feeling about their shared custody living arrangements. The timing and importance of this rare book cannot be overstated. It's a great resource for anyone touching the lives of children living the shuffled lifestyle caused by their parents' divorce. It's perfect for kids 2-10 years of age.
