 Excellent - especially on visitation schedules March 9, 2004
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
This is an absolutely excellent book. We split up when my son was one year old and I went through divorce spanning the next year or more . I wish I'd had the book then and we wouldn't have got into the mess we did over visitation as this book gives clear and specific advice on what is normal and fair for that. I agreed to a scheme that was totally suited to my ex's life - he lived an hour away out of town - and didn't fit the child's needs at all. My son's behaviour got worse and worse until i read this book - it has a guide to what amount of time children can cope with being away from home for and for that alone i would pay the full price of this book - it has been spot on.
It is also excellent on a wide variety of topics that you have to deal with - like my ex's remarrying and how to communicate with the child on that (shame my ex did not read this!) and a bunch of other thorny topics which i was so thankful for some guidance on. Friends and relatives may mean well, but they have an angle on the whole thing and this book is sane and fair and most importantly based on loads of actual cases and what was good or bad based on the experiences of hundreds of kids.

I HAVE REFERRED TO THIS BOOK PRIOR TO MY DIVORCE AND TO THE PRESENT, 4 MONTHS AFTER. GARY NEUMAN, WRITES IN A WONDERFUL, EASY TO UNDERSTAND MANNER FOR ALMOST EVERY SITUATION THAT WILL ARISE. BUY THIS BOOK, AND READ IT, SO YOUR KIDS AND YOU CAN HANDLE THIS DIVORCE THE SANDCASTLES WAY. IF GARY NEUMAN IS SPEAKING SOMEWHERE, GO HEAR HIM SPEAK. YOU WILL BE HAPPY YOU DID!!
A great resource for divorcing parents November 14, 1998

As a child therapist I found this book to be very helpful. I recommend it to all my parents who are divorcing. It is in plain, straightforward language. This book can help the millions of parents who need some insight into what the reactions of children are when their parents divorce. The book discusses developmental, co-parenting, and a plethora of related issues. His style is compassionate, lighthearted, and genuine. A must read for parents who are divorcing and professionals who work with these parents.
the best book to educate and support families during divorce November 10, 1998

M. Gary Neuman is a truely gifted author. His insights and information found in the Sandcastles book helped my family through an extremely difficult time in our lives. The understanding that my ex-wife and I walked away with helped us set the pace and tone for a more healthy future for my family. Although we won't be a couple anymore, Gary helped me see that we will be a family on many levels. It was a gift in a time when life seems vcry difficult for all of us. I can't thank him enough and I even have bought copies for my parents, ex-inlaws and my siblings. It has certainly become one of the most important books I have ever read. I would love to hear him speak if he is ever in California. Please inform me. Thank you to M. Gary Neuman for his reserach and depth of understanding the ever changing families in our country. A book LONG OVERDUE!!!!!!
 Starting from the cover, a bit deceiving October 17, 1998

The content and book cover go hand in hand. Art interpretation is part of Sandcastles.I lost interest in the content when I realized that the book cover is made to appear to be a child's rendition, even though- I assume- it was done by a professional artist. This cover demonstrated to me what it is about, but in this case, apparently not from the eyes of a child.
