Children in Between: For Kids was created especially for families going through divorce or separation. Our goal is to help children aged 7 to 14 understand and manage the many emotions surrounding their family's break up. Watching with you, your children will learn proven skills to reduce everyday worries and enhance good feelings in the home, and more success in school. We expect their stress, including anxiety, depression, and fear will lessen after using this program.

When you see what your children are learning, you will have meaningful conversations with them. You will also begin to use the skills yourself. Because your children imitate you, they will understand these new skills better by watching you apply them. You can remind them to use specific skills in different situations, like a coach. This will make their learning occur faster and stay with them longer.

"Children in Between For Kids is an exceptional program for kids and parents that provides valuable information and promotes hope. It is honest and authentic, using real life diverse situations and some humor in an easily watched, visually appealing format. The helpful glossary with each module accompanies an emphasis on building the skills school aged children need when coping with their parents' separation or divorce. This program is a must for children who are adjusting to parental separation and divorce."

"This program is a game-changer for kids and families going through divorce. It offers research-based messages in a thoroughly engaging way. Children and teens will increase their emotional intelligence and learn skills for navigating the stresses of a parental divorce. Parents who view it with their children will learn as much or more. I will strongly recommend this program to every couple I see who is beginning a divorce journey."

"As a retired Family Court judge (having served 23 years on the bench in Massachusetts) I found this online program to be head and shoulders above any of the others I have watched (and I've watched quite a few without being impressed with any of them). This program is so skillful and down-to-earth that it is virtually guaranteed to reduce children's stress while their parents go through separation and divorce. The “secret sauce” here is the novel idea of creating an online program that parents and kids watch together. This format cannot help but make the messages and the suggestions much more impactful for the children and the adults. There is not a boring, trite, or sugar coated moment in the presentations – no stale or drab preaching, just straightforward and clear, solid, and relatable (and often humorous!) advice and insight. It is my hope that this program spreads far and wide."

Tip #1 Share with your children what interested you about each chapter and why. This sets the stage for a great conversation. |
Tip #2 Pay close attention to feelings your kids express and reflect back on what you are hearing. - "So you feel the same way as Arata. I'm so glad you told me!" |
Tip #3 You might ask your child to find a good memory of themselves when they felt happy and confident. They can later use this memory when they begin to worry. |
