How Divorce Affects Preschool Age Children  
Divorce Kidology contributor Linda Jacobs tackles a tough kidmin topic:

As a three- to five-year-old child, it is hard to understand what is happening when one parent moves out of the home.

Parents may have told the child they were getting a divorce and daddy (or mommy) was moving out, but a child has no concept of what this means or what the word divorce means.

This leaves the child in a state of confusion and wondering when daddy is coming back home.

Coming this Easter: Heaven is for Real 
Heaven is for Real The Burpos are the perfect picture of a small-town Americana family: mom and dad, daughter and son. Young Colton and his dad are inseparable ... until an illness lands Colton in the hospital. Fearing they will lose their son, the parents cry out to God to spare him.

While Colton's amazing recovery should lead his family back to normalcy, they quickly discover nothing will ever be the same again. With childlike innocence, Colton begins talking about having visited Heaven and his incredible experiences there ... including meeting family members he never knew about.

Based on Pastor Todd Burpo's bestselling book (with Lynn Vincent), beloved by millions of people, Heaven is for Real tells one family's story about Heaven and the impact it has on their community ... and the world. Coming to theaters this Easter, this film stars Greg Kinnear, Kelly Reilly, Connor Corum as Colton, Margo Martindale, and Thomas Haden Church.
