What parents are saying "My ex-husband promises our kids the moon when he can't deliver. He loves them so much and is afraid they will think he's abandoned them. They are having a very hard time understanding why their dad doesn't follow through on his promises. Our counselor handed me this book and we've been working in it together. The kids are really starting to understand that their dad really does love them even when he disappoints them and that he's having a hard time with all the changes in our lives too." "I want my little girl to have everything she wants and I just have a hard time telling her I can't do something she wants to do. Unfortunately, I keep disappointing her and she's started really acting out when she doesn't get her way. I'm working on being able to tell her no, but I'm so grateful for Broken Promises to help her know that she really is 'an awesome kid!" "My eight-year-old son loves these activities and has learned how to tell us when he's disappointed in something without resorting to tantrums. I especially appreciate the lessons in forgiveness."
