FAMILY TRANSITIONS: YOUNG CHILDREN SPEACK THEIR MINDS ABOUT DIVORCE

By: Michael Trout

When a young child experiences the divorce of his parents, the child's voice is often lost. Sometimes it is lost because the adults are temporarily unable to hear it, overwhelmed as they are at the moment with their own sorrow or rage or disorientation.

Legal disputes can further silence a child when the child is asked questions impossible to answer. This program is an effort to collect in one place the many things young children say-in their drawings, in their behavior, and sometimes even in their words-when their families are coming apart.

This title is designed for mediators, judges, support programs for divorcing couples, and for the parents themselves as they examine the feelings of young children of divorce.

SEEING IS BELIEVING

By: Martha F. Erickson, PhD with Julie Endersbe, MEd, Jill Simon, MSW

Every aspect of the lives of parents has an effect on the life of their baby. Sometimes the daily rhythm of a family becomes so chaotic that the baby seems to be on the sidelines instead of at center court.

Service providers working with these parents strive to provide the most effective support possible--support that will allow parents to see situations from their baby's perspective and to encourage responsive and secure parent-child relationships. Seeing is Believing helps parents increase their sensitivity and responsiveness to their baby's signs and cues by using a videotaping strategy.

The home visitor or facilitator is trained to videotape parent and baby in short sequences as they go about their everyday activities (e.g. feeding, bathing, playing). Together the parent and home visitor discover the unique characteristics of the child.

By joining the parent in these observations, the home visitor can enhance the parent's ability to read the baby's cues and signals and to appropriately meet the needs of the baby. At the end of the work together the family keeps the video as a documented memory of the baby's development and this magical time of their lives.
