Bear's Changing Family: A Little Friend to Help Your Little One Through the "Big D" (Divorce)

Divorce. That's a really big topic for a little person, especially one you love more than anything. Bear is here to help! Bear's parents are going through a divorce too, so it's the perfect time for Bear and your little one to become friends. The newly released "Bear's Changing Family" fills a gap for books about divorce for very young children (ages 3-7). It was inspired by love, and it was informed by the work of experts, psychologists and researchers. It has 3 goals: to educate, comfort and empower your child. And it does so with such heart. "Bear's Changing Family" was written by the author for her 3 1/2-year-old son when she realized that the divorce books she had to choose from were either beyond his cognitive level, or they didn't match his emotional level. It tells the story of Bear, whose family is going through a divorce. They live in a den in the forest with all of his forest friends, and he soon learns that his family is going to change. As he comes to understand what that means and begins to adjust to life in two dens, he tells your child, "Your family is changing just like mine. It will take time to get used to, but change can be good. As my friend Owl reminded me, our friend Caterpillar changed into a butterfly! Owls are so wise." It evokes the feeling in your little one that, "Bear is ok. I'll be ok too." In a time of so much change, it helps you reassure your child that he or she will always be loved, protected and cared for. That's why love is a constant throughout. Not only is Bear adorable, he is lovable and relatable. He makes divorce more bearable! We hope it helps your family as much as it did ours.
