The examples are horrible; the whole book is just a list of hundreds of common sense instructions. It tells you, “don’t speak disrespectfully about the other parent.” Ok I guess it’s not wrong. But it is far from helpful. One particularly bad example is what not to do: A 7 year old girl steals money from her father’s wallet, and the father asks why, and she says that her mother doesn’t have enough money for food. The father responds, “she’s a liar. Don’t listen to her.” The “advice” from the author is to not put the child in the middle of a parental conflict. Umm yes, technically true, but sooooo far from helpful. At the end of the book they have scripts on how to tell your kids you’re getting divorced. The author says repeatedly to “be specific but do not provide details.” That’s oxymoronic.
Only lists What to do BUT NOT HOW to do it
