This Coping with Divorce Lap Book is an interactive, memorable resource that supports students through changes in their families. It is easily created and stored in a file folder, so it a perfect grab-and-go resource to pull out as needed! This lap book is a meaningful activity for individual and small group counseling, and parents love when a copy is sent home, too!
⭐ THIS RESOURCE INCLUDES:
✅ A description of “Kid’s Rights:” a list of things that kids NEED (i.e. to be loved unconditionally, to be aware of important changes happening in their life) and kids should NOT (i.e. see their parents fighting, worry about grown-up problems) in coping with divorce
✅ A 3-part interactive, hands-on component that allows students to express their feelings, describe what worries them the most about their parents’ divorce, and choose and practice helpful coping strategies
✅A writing/drawing component that asks students to draw/write about their family and home life before and after the divorce, write a brief poem about their feelings, and fill in their “support heart” with people who care about them and who they can go to for help during this tough time
✂️ I recommend using a file folder and hook and loop fastener dots to assemble this lap book!

“I not only used this with my students but also gave it to one of my family members who has parents going through a divorce. This really helps kids understand those big feelings and helps them potentially open up to a parent they might not feel comfortable telling these hard things to. Thanks for creating this. It’s a staple in my collection along with many items you create. :)” – Aaliyah C.

“I made this lap book and used it with one of my 1st graders. We walked through each of the prompts together and debriefed his answers once he had selected his feelings, etc. It was very helpful to have the explanation of divorce and what can help kids and parents. I like to print off an extra copy of the support/poem page to send home with the student. I usually email the parent with a snapshot of the explanation page (kids should/should not sections) to encourage support at home. I highly recommend this resource for all elementary grades.” – Counseling in Color
