Synopsis

Do you have family members who are really hard to explain to your kids?
Are you struggling to find the right words to explain situations to kids without laying blame and using complex terminology?
Are your kids trying to navigate big changes in family circumstances?
This book helps you help them.

"I don't think you understand how much your book is going to help improve not just children's lives, but parents too... I am in tears reading this because I honestly believe this will help (my daughter) a trillion percent." - Feedback from a parent fresh out of a DV relationship.

A book that is child centric, healing centric, and versatile enough to suit any family situation:

• Fostering and Adoption
• Separation and divorce
• Traumatic family relationships
• Issues with alienation
• Domestic and family violence
• Low-contact, high-conflict family members
• Break-down of co-parenting
• Coersive control
• Positve self-talk
• Understanding genuine behaviour

Without pointing fingers and using simple terms, this book helps kids work things out for themselves. It is worded in the first person, so they know it is for them. The language used leaves it open to interpret the gender, age, and relationships involved. The book is sprinkled full of stories, activities, and positive affirmations.

Questions covered in the book include:

• How can I recognise Hard Adult behaviour?
• How do Hard Adults make me feel?
• What do Hard Adults ask me to do?
• How does trauma work?
• What is genuine love?
