At courthouses around the state, children of
court employees gathered
on "Take Your Child To
Work Day," April 28, to learn
about the courts and see
firsthand how their parents
spend their day. At the
Office of Court Administration,
the children who assembled
not only observed, they
were given an assignment - to contribute artwork to a
handbook that will be distributed
statewide on the
topic of families going
through divorce. The children were asked to draw happy families,
families going through divorce and pictures depicting anger.
"The Parent's Handbook" was compiled by the New York State
Parent Education and Awareness Program. The primary goal of
the handbook is to remind parents that although the relationship
with their spouse may be ending, they need to find an effective
way to continue to be parents to their children. The handbook
offers helpful tips for handling conflict, announcing a separation
or divorce to a child and seeking professional help.
