Abstract
When changes occur in families due to divorce, death, or relocation, children often feel frightened, insecure, and confused. The "Adjusting to Family Change" program provides 4th and 5th grade children the skills needed to cope with these changes through better self-esteem and communication. Teacher response indicates that student behavior improves as children begin to express their fears and concerns. Through this program, children find out their feelings are normal and find solutions through improved communication skills.
