TAYLOR, PA, July 01, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- According to the Center for Divorce Reform, at least forty percent of all marriages end in divorce and millions of parents in America are facing unique challenges after divorce.
"It is challenging to be a parent and it is even more challenging to be a divorced parent," says Tara Amaral, coauthor of the new book Our Great Kids. "By putting children first, parents can do a lot to reduce the negative effects divorce may have on children and give them a better chance to have happy and healthy lives."
How a child adapts to a divorce largely depends on how parents interact with each other.
Obviously, interacting with your spouse can be the last thing you want to do; however, it's important that parents respect each other and help their children maintain strong, close relationships with the other parent.
"You love your children and want the best for them," say Chris Frie, another coauthor of Our Great Kids. "Because of this, you have to be tough by not allowing the divorce to damage them. Show them love and think of their best interests."
Our Great Kids is a book that doubles as a groundbreaking communication tool for separated or divorced parents. Part journal, part organizer, this book will allow both parents to participate in their children's lives together while remaining apart.
The authors have also created the Web site http://www.OurGreatKids.com to go along with their new book. The site allows divorced parents to log in to their children's accounts to communicate important dates, daily activities and special things that their children did. Parents can also exchange photos and receive e-mail alerts to remind them of scheduled activities.
Having used their system with great success for several years, Ms. Amaral and Mr. Frie, both divorced parents, have been showing others how to develop healthy methods of communication so that the children of divorce aren't negatively affected.
(Our Great Kids by Tara Amaral and Chris Frie; $23.95; ISBN: 978-0-9821091-0-6; 104 pages; 8.5" x 11"; soft cover, spiral bound; TML Publishing)
