Mom's House, Dad's House Helps Children Cope with Divorce

DIVORCE BOOK REVIEWS

Reviewer: Nancy Johnson-Gallagher. LICSW, Mediator


PARENT’S BOOKS

Mom’s House, Dad’s House: Making Two Homes for Your Child, Isolina Ricci, PhD, 1980, 1997.

A classic, this book has been helping parents transition to co-parenting in separate homes for 30 years, and is still the “go to” book on the issues. The real strength of this book is that it helps the adults to understand where they are in the process of divorce (and developmentally) and how that impacts their children. It gives great specifics on how to communicate better, identifying styles of conflict in divorcing couples, and setting up “two homes” for your children.
