Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
More than 20,000 children have taken part in the SandcastlesTM program, a method through which children of divorcing parents learn to cope with the breakup by meeting with each other and trained counselors. This program, completed in one 3.5-hour session, is available in Miami, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, and dozens of other cities. Neuman, a couselor, rabbi, and creator of the SandcastlesTM program, encourages children to speak, draw, and write to help them express their feelings and realize that they are not alone, weird, or at fault. Here he writes for parents who may not have access to the sessions and want to help their children through the experience of divorce. This is a thorough guide, using the art, letters, prose, and expressions from children in SandcastlesTM programs across the country. Sidebars, quotations, "dos and don'ts," and surveys make it easy to read. Highly recommended for all parenting shelves.--Linda Beck, Indian Valley P.L., Telford, PA

    This book is great!

    I was having a very hard time communicating with my 6 year old son. He wanted to be with his dad always. I felt like I had nothing in common with him and that I was not able to understand his feelings. This book gave me creative ways to communicate with him. I can see a difference and he opens up to me much more. I am so thankful for this book. All divorces are different. This book seems to address many issues. My kids, their dad and I are very lucky that we have a very good relationship despite being in 2 different homes. This book has helped to smooth out some of the buymps in the road.

    Good fathers need more time with children

    I agree with the one star rating above, that the perhaps feminists in this world support the idea that every other weekend with Dad is enough. Divorce is a devastating thing as a child's roots are ripped from the ground. The idea of quality time being enough isn't the answer. It is quantity of time, and that should be allowed as much as possible with both parents. 2 weeks passing before you see your child is outrageous. I have seen the mother ask others to watch the children, when the father was available. If you want the child to still have a sense of security and home, then you must allow access to both parents whenever. Often times, too, the mother and her family won't allow access to the father on her time. This is so wrong. The children should be allowed this, any time of day or night, and should never be denied that, just like they would have it if they were in a happy home, with both parents. A critical element is that when the mother cannot be with them, the father must be given first opportunity, before others.

    written by feminst social worker

    The negative stereotypical examples of uninvolved and bad fathers permeate this book and show the gender bigotry that exists in society today. While a maximum visitation schedule of every other weekend (35-40%)is recommended for only the best fathers, Neuman just doesn't understand what is really in the child's best interests - alot of quality time with both parents. This book is a typical rehash of the feminist agenda, and seems to reflect the current social worker/psychologist/custody evaluator/judge view that shared parenting time and fathers are a bad idea.

    single mom loves this book

    excellent, sensitive and thorough treatment of this tough topic. i use this book like a Bible and lend it out a lot. my girls are better off for what I have learned with this book. pay no attention to the nonsense spouted here by critics of 'feminist' agendas. these people typically front organizations that aim to keep child support low. shame on those who second guess single moms, many of whom are stuck with the bulk of the work and a fraction of the income.

    I thought this book was great! All that I have read was very informative and exactly how I have handled my children during their time of a divorce. Would reccomend it to anyone who needed help.

    Very helpful

    I found this book to be very helpful, especially in terms of how to work things out between the parents. It gives many examples of how to relate to the kids at different ages. I recommend it highly. I credit the book with helping my ex and I create a positive environment for our children as well as helping us relate better to each other. By the way, I think the reader who gave it one star really missed the boat on this.
