What parents are saying

â€œMy ex-husband promises our kids the moon when he canâ€™t deliver. He loves them so much and is afraid they will think heâ€™s abandoned them. They are having a very hard time understanding why their dad doesnâ€™t follow through on his promises. Our counselor handed me this book and weâ€™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 heâ€™s having a hard time with all the changes in our lives too.â€

â€œI want my little girl to have everything she wants and I just have a hard time telling her I canâ€™t do something she wants to do. Unfortunately, I keep disappointing her and sheâ€™s started really acting out when she doesnâ€™t get her way. Iâ€™m working on being able to tell her no, but Iâ€™m so grateful for Broken Promises to help her know that she really is â€˜an awesome kid!â€

â€œMy eight-year-old son loves these activities and has learned how to tell us when heâ€™s disappointed in something without resorting to tantrums. I especially appreciate the lessons in forgiveness.â€
