If your coparenting is toxic and doing poorly (they are likely unaware that they are in fact emotionally abusing your children) your giving them this book could help them recognize what they are doing and possibly stop some of their poor behaviors. The book is tiny small…and simple enough that they might actually read it or let it stay on a table or nightstand.
A second book to consider giving your unhealthy coparent is “Divorce: The Art of Screwing Up Your Children” by Howard Drutman, PhD.
The health of our children is serious stuff and I thank Knock Knock for creating this book … they may not have envisioned this use, but for these somewhat unique (thankfully) family situations…it can save a child’s mental health and ability to have healthy, intimate relationships for the rest of their lives!
