What parents are saying "When my husband and I divorced our son who is ten stayed pretty quiet and didn't talk much about how he was feeling. When my husband remarried a year later our son began throwing tantrums and yelling at his new stepmother. His teacher recommended Twice the Love and my son and I use it as a special time each night to talk about his new family. It gives me the chance to show him that I am also working through the changes and that we can do it together." "I dated my boyfriend for four years after my divorce before we got married. My daughter, who is now eight, did not have trouble adjusting since she really doesn't remember when her dad lived with us. But we just had a new baby, and my daughter is very jealous. I don't think she would harm the baby, but she seems to want to pretend the baby isn't there. My husband is a middle school counselor and he got a copy of Twice the Love. We've been working in it together for two months now, and my daughter has started letting the new baby be part of her life. I am so relived. Thank you." "My twelve-year-old child has been very sad since I got remarried. He recently told me he had been hoping his dad and I would get back together but now he knew we wouldn't. We started talking about it more and working in this book together. It's been a wonderful journey for me and him together."

What parents are saying "My ten-year-old daughter and her friends love to share their photos with each other online. I try to see which friends she accepts and chats with. I never expected that one of her own friends (after a big fight) would be the one to bully her. She didn't tell me about it for a couple of weeks but I noticed she was acting upset. I am so grateful Cyber Savvy to help her work through her feelings." "So many books out there teach us how to protect our kids from the Internet. I'm glad there's a book now to help them after being bullied online. We simply cannot monitor every minute of our child's day. Thank you so much for this workbook." "My eleven-year-old has always taken everything close to heart. He's very sensitive. This activity book has helped him see bullying behavior as not being about him at all, and I find that he's much more generous in his compassion than I ever would be for the kid who was mean to him online. I've learned as much as he has."
