Love flies away, children stay.
One in two couples divorce in the Paris region, one in three in the provinces. The obvious consequence of this observation is that today in schools, colleges and high schools, there are as many children from separated couples as there are children whose parents are married. The state of mind of adults has totally changed in the face of this state of affairs that they no longer apprehend in the same way as thirty years ago, which they face and overcome more and more easily.
But, on the children's side, what have we done so that they too can experience this event better? Children sometimes experience this moment of breakdown of the family unit as painfully as their parents. Because it is at the heart of this family unit, which is theirs, that they have so far found their bearings and have started to build themselves. They are therefore logically afraid of being destroyed by this change in family orientation, over which, moreover, they have no control. It's more difficult for them to take a step back; they do not have the same historical analysis of the evolution of manners, since they were not there before …
You are not the only one who gets divorced!
“It's amazing,” 9-year-old Antoine told me the other day, I have eight friends in my class who have divorced parents, and I'm only in fourth grade. What must it be in college! When I told Marine that in Paris about one in two couples get divorced, she said after two minutes of thinking: Hey! It's like saying that, in my building, everyone who lives on the left landing gets divorced and not those on the right landing!
At the initial stage of the breakdown of the couple, children need their place to be confirmed, more than ever; only their parents can do it and reassure them of this evidence. Children often suffer from not knowing anything, and so often think, for lack of explanation, that they are an additional worry in the separation of parents.
First aid guide for responsible separation
At the initial stage of the breakdown of the couple, children need their place to be confirmed, more than ever; only their parents can do it and reassure them of this evidence. Children often suffer from not knowing anything, and so often think, for lack of explanation, that they are an additional worry in the separation of parents.
The sole purpose of this guide is to inform children of what separation from parents is, to help them de-dramatize by placing the roles and duties of each in their context. It is simply a matter of providing answers to the many questions that children ask themselves, without daring to express them, at a time when they feel their parents are already preoccupied, when they too need answers. This is why these two books are joined so that your children can see that they are, in the context of this ordeal, your main concern and know that you understand what they mean when they tell you: that you who divorces!

Alternate custody: is it a good solution?
Since the 2002 law on parental authority, in the name of the principle of co-parenting, family court judges have recommended joint custody of children to divorcing couples. Very little adopted in practice, this solution gives rise to many controversies. So, what about joint custody? In which cases can it be the right solution, and for whom? Where is the best interest of the child?
