Description

"Is it easy to come home after being in jail?"

Ideal for use with children aged 6-11, this is a vital resource for supporting the wellbeing of children whose parent is coming home after spending time in prison. Using plain language and photographs, it reassures children and guides them through adjusting to their parent's homecoming. It explains which feelings the child and both parents might experience and the different challenges that everyone in the family might face, while suggesting ways to build new bonds with the parent. Included are activities to help children manage their feelings, tips for parents and professionals on how best to support them, and a list of resources for additional help and information.

Whatever the reason for separation (incarceration, deployment, etc), family reunification can be stressfulThis book provides solid advice for students, parents, and professionals involved in this sensitive topic. The text is student friendly. I appreciated the diverse representation in the photographs. The authors provided useful writing and drawing prompts as well as a great resource list. Solid resource. Thanks to Jessica Kingsley Publishers for an ARC of this book via NetGalley.

It’s unfortunately that kids need to know these things, but I’m glad that this resource exists for them and will help both parents and children adjust.
