Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Kids are Nondivorceable
Sara Bonkowski · 1987
71/100
👍 Worth It
Dr. Bonkowski built this as a guided workbook for kids six to eleven to work through with a parent or counselor during a divorce, and it's earned a spot on multiple professional reading lists for exactly that reason. It's a 1987 title so some framing is dated, but the core approach of helping a child name and process what's happening still holds up well as a facilitated tool, not a stand-alone read.
