Mom and Dad Go to Work

How can we help children cope with the anxiety and difficult emotions caused by separation from their parents? How can we talk with them about these feelings? Koso, the book’s main character, helps families explore these questions.

Like many children, Koso finds separation from his parents difficult. Every morning when they leave for work, he feels sad and anxious. One day, Koso decides to speak openly with his parents about his feelings. Their conversation helps him understand his emotions and discover ways to cope with them.

This is a book about the relationship between parents and children, children’s emotions, and the invisible thread of love that always connects them.

Based on psychotherapist Mziko Dalakishvili’s many years of therapeutic experience, the book offers practical support to parents, kindergarten teachers, and therapists. It can help children both during their adjustment to kindergarten and as they work through separation anxiety.
