I posted this somewhere else but can't seem to find it.

Anyway, can anyone recommend some good books for a dad who is getting separated and has small children? He won't have primary custody and is looking for advice on how to explain things to the kids; the oldest is four. He obviously wants to minimize the trauma. He is devastated at the thought of not seeing them everyday and wants the transition to be as smooth as it can possibly be.

Thanks

Hmmmm -- there is a classic out there, just can't quite remember the title. Try on Amazon. Thinking there is one called "Always Dad." Then there *is* the classic: Mom's House, Dad's House which should help.

you can usually go onto you local library website & do a search under any subject & find tons of books - that's what I did & I'm very thankful for it - it's very helpful to get a wide variety of different books & perspectives & figure out what works best for you in that particular situation ;-)


good luck
