For Kids’ Sake, Be Great!: How Caregivers Create Positive Environments in Separate Homes by Howard Lee Brockhouse

At a parent-teacher conference many years ago my ex-wife, Jackie, and I met a new teacher that had recently moved to our school district. Before the conference, I’d noticed that I wasn’t receiving school paperwork at my house. As I’d done with other teachers, I thought I was reminding her that we need a copy of all paperwork sent to each house so we’re both fully informed and she being surprised, asked, “What, you’re divorced, I never would have thought that by watching Abbie in class.” Jackie and I had tears of relief that we must be doing something right in our relationship, so much so, that a teacher couldn’t tell our daughter was from a separated home!

For Kids’ Sake, Be Great will show you the simple things we do for the betterment of our children, placing their emotional and physical welfare foremost resulting in healthy and happy children in separate homes. The book also addresses the emotional health of us caregivers allowing us to move forward in a positive direction after our separation. The book is filled with firsthand accounts, some sad, some happy, but my hope is you will find answers for your situation and have a joyful and productive life for your kids and for yourself.
