An activity for children dealing with parental separation or divorce.

Have the children write a letter to their parents, addressing their thoughts on the divorce or separation. Encourage them to write whatever emotions they are feeling, questions they would like answered, etc. After the letter is complete, the children can place their letters in a plastic bottle which will then be sealed. They may either recycle the bottled letter or take it home with them to reflect upon or share with their parents if they choose to do so.

The exercise below is taken from the book, Children and Stress.
