Real Life Issues: Family Breakups

Product description:
 
The modern family is changing. In fact, if recent trends continue, a quarter of parents will have split up by the time their children are 16 years old. That means there are a lot of you out there experiencing the breakup of your family unit - and it's not an easy thing to deal with: you may feel pressured and pulled in all sorts of directions, and you'll have to juggle your emotions with the stresses and excitements of other parts of your life - exams, work, friendships and relationships.

 

Real Life Issues: Family Breakups provides guidance, coping strategies and reassurance. Packed with real-life experiences from young people who've been through a family breakup, it explains the feelings you may have about how your life is changing and offers tips and information on:

 

• Handling difficult conversations and situations
• What actually happens in divorce (legal aspects, etc)
• Adapting to your new situation
• Facing up to your parents' new relationships
• Settling into home life with a stepfamily.
