Lia's Two Homes: A Children's Book About Divorce, Stepfamilies, and Finding Comfort in Two Houses (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798196308376)

Going back and forth between two houses can bring up a lot of big feelings!

Meet Lia. She's seven years old, and she has two homes. At Mommy's house, there are no rules and she can do whatever she wants! But at Daddy and Stepmom's house, there are schedules, chores, and bedtimes. At first, Lia thinks Mommy's house is the absolute best, and Daddy's rules just make her grumpy.

But soon, all that bouncing around makes Lia feel like wiggly Jell-O inside. With the gentle help of her Daddy and Stepmom, Lia discovers something amazing: rules aren't there to ruin the fun. They are there to keep her safe, calm, and loved.

Lia's Two Homes is a gentle, validating story that helps children:

• Understand big emotions: Gives kids the vocabulary to express the "too-much" feelings that come with back-and-forth transitions.
• Embrace structure: Shows how routines and boundaries are acts of love that help children feel secure.
• Navigate stepfamilies and co-parenting: Beautifully illustrates a loving stepmom dynamic and adjusting to different household expectations.

Includes a special "Note for Grown-Ups" with practical, gentle advice for parents, step-parents, and caregivers to help kids thrive in a two-home family.

Help your child feel safe, loved, and at home-no matter whose house they are in!
