The Switching Hour: Kids of Divorce
Say Good-Bye
Again
by Evon O. Flesberg
 You
see them. You know them. You may interact with them everyday. So what’s
it like to be a kid with divorced parents? The Switching Hour is that time both
hoped for and dreaded, when children go from one world to another as they shuttle
between divorced parents.
This book will help parents simplify family life as children transition between
homes. Written from the child's point of view, Dr. Flesberg gives practical advice
and encouragement. The Switching Hour stresses that, even with the best intentions
and parenting skills, children and parents must come to terms with living divided
lives.
Written by a counselor who is also a pastor and professor, this resource will
aid families, divorce lawyers, mediators, doctors, pastors, mental health workers,
teachers, and school counselors who must understand children in order to help
make transitioning as easy as possible. These children, our children, live a
split existence that takes its toll. Shuttling exacts a high price because it
can be a routine reminder of dashed dreams.
