Reviews of CHILDREN IN THE MIDDLE (CIM)

Honorable Cheryl Karner, Domestic Relations Judge, Cleveland, Ohio:
"Excellent... superb... I was impressed with the quality."

Denise M. Mirman, Esq., Chair, Family Law Section, Assocation of Trial Lawyers of America:
"Attorneys and judges interested in children would love to have this to show to divorcing parents. Parents in conflict will attend to this much better than merely being told what they need to be doing for their children."

Carl Scheider, Ph.D., Mediator and Trainer, Divorce Mediation Institute, Ann Arbor, Michigan:
"What I like about this video is that... it provides practical skill-building that gives both parents and children the ability to handle those difficult, but recurring, moments in divorce...This video is a good one to use both in school divorce programs and in the emerging court-mandated parent education programs around the country."

Doris Steward, Attorney at Law, Houston, Texas:
"Unlike some other well-known video-based programs, CIM is both skills-focused and easy for parents to relate to. It uses actual parents and children of divorced families in compelling portrayals of the problems they face. And, it teaches families how to change to more supportive and helpful behaviors."

Guidance Counselors, School Psychologists, and Teachers. M.S., Texas:
"Discussion in our divorce groups really gets going after I show this video. I find this a superb way to help kids problem-solve on divorced family issues." M.S. Ed., New York: "I was pleasantly suprised with the balance of ethnic groups, gender, and age levels. Our kids can relate to this video." J.F., Ph.D., Florida: "Children experience a strong sense of empowerment after seeing the video and discussing how they can talk to their parents. They go home and open up communication, and their parents respond well!"

Review by The School Counselor:
"Children in the Middle is a well organized, comprensive program that provides practical skills that can be used at any age level for positive divorce-lifestyle change... students simultaneously work through emotional issues and will quickly achieve results. It's methodical, realistic approach will provide the coping strategies and communication skills so desperately needed to sustain positive self-esteem and self-fulfilment in children whose family paths diverge."
