Kids know stuff. Sometimes they know more stuff than we realise. They listen, they watch, they are sponges. When a family separates, the kids are involved whether they like it or not. But how much involvement is too much? And where do you draw the line between explaining what is going on and oversharing? The Splits is not just a book about the important conversations you need to have with your kids about separation but also the conversations that should be left out.

The Splits is a guide for parents who care about how separation will affect their children and need help to navigate the necessary conversations with their kids about all aspects of separation, divorce and what happens if it goes to family court. This book will give parents the confidence to support their kids by learning about what conversations they should be having with them and what conversations should be left out.
