What Others Have Said About Mark’s Books

“Having been through a divorce myself, I can certainly say that this book covered the basics (and then some) about what to do and what not to do when getting a divorce. Even though parents may begin to hate each other, it is important for them to realize that the children should always come first. This book had blank pages to write down thoughts, ideas, etc. Also, it is complete with a glossary, extra reading, and several other tidbits that make it a must have for divorcing parents.”

“Really great conversational book that will help you get through the arduous task of talking with your kids about your divorce. It’s also helpful from the standpoint of knowing how to talk to yourself about it, not just the kids. Looking forward to Dr. Banschick’s other insights in the series of books.”

“This is an amazing book for new parents. Through this book, I learned a lot about parenting. Also read a lot of articles on top-mom.com/ thanks to which I always choose great products for my child. If you are still in doubt about reading this book or not, then definitely take this book.”

“…. Since statistically divorce affects one out of every two marriages in the United States with some 16 million children involved, this book is essential for anyone going through a divorce or who knows someone going through a divorce. That means you. Buy the book, read it, and share it with someone else who is hurting. As Mark Banschick says, “Look, if you’re going to break up, do it wisely and allow everyone – especially children – to move on.””
