The very first sentence it this award winning book is: Divorce takes place between mothers and fathers. You are not to blame if your parents get divorced. It goes on to tell the little readers the kinds of feelings they may experience when their parents are divorcing, how to deal with them, what happens to kids after their parents divorce, and lets kids know it isnt fair to pit one parent against the other. The School Library Journal, in commenting on the book, predicted that it would become a real security blanket for those young readers in need. Actually, its much more than that. It, or some other book on the subject, can spare children a lot of mental anguish and loss of drive in school when both divorcing parents read it. Most teachers will tell you that divorce of a students parents can cause severe difficulties in the youngsters emotional stability and school performances. With divorces far more common than they were a generation ago, is there anything parents can do to lessen the pain for their children?

But we finally found a cleverly fashioned nest around a 12 inch hole in the facia which accommodated an electric conduit on top of which rested the nest. The conduit was also a perfect perch for bird sitting. Boy, Id get rid of those swallows, my neighbor said. And the only way to do it was to remove the nest.

"When he picks up bad words, laugh at him. It will encourage him to pick up cuter phrases that will blow your mind later on. "Never give him any spiritual training. Wait until he is 21 and then let him decide for himself. "Avoid the use of the word wrong. It may develop a guilt complex. This will condition him to believe later, when he is arrested for stealing, that society is against him and he is being persecuted. "Pick up all he leaves lying around - books, shoes, toys, clothing. Do everything for him so he ill be experienced in throwing the responsibility to others. Let him read any printed matter he wants to read. Let his mind feed on garbage, if thats the way he wants it. "Quarrel frequently in the presence of your children. Then they wont be too shocked when the home is broken up. Give the child all the spending money he wants. Never let him earn his own. Why should he have things as rough as you had them? "Satisfy his every craving for food, drink and comfort. See that every desire is gratified. Denial may lead to harmful frustration. "Take his part against the neighbors, teachers and policemen. They are all prejudiced against your child. "When he gets into real trouble, apologize for yourselves by saying, I never could do anything with him.

At the Block New Zealand same time I looked up to sec two swallows sitting on the conduit. I thought you guys had I said accusingly. They gazed gone, reproachfully down at me. Why would you want to destroy our home? one of them said. Well, I said defensively, I didnt really want todestroy your home, but the droppings on the doorstep were becoming areal pain. Dont you think thats a bit much? What would you do? said the one bird whom I soon discovered was the male. When you gotta go, you gotta go, and Cordilas condition doesnt really give her much time to fly to a secluded spot. Besides, our landlord, and he looked at me pointedly, doesnt furnish up with nice porcelain fixtures to help us take care of our personal needs. He had me there and I retreated inside hoping the next time I looked up there theyd be gone and I could forget the whole thing.
