The Name It First Experience

Both homes are real — and the child who moves between them is navigating two sets of rules, two versions of normal, and a belonging that is split in ways no one has given them words for. I Live in Two Homes gives children ages 8 to 11 a journal for naming both places — what each home is like, what is the same, what is different, and how it actually feels to be the person who moves between them — in their own words, without being asked to compare or choose. This journal is for the child who loves both places and has never had a way to say what that is like — and for the parent who wants to give them one. A Journal for Kids Whose Family Looks Different Depending on the Day builds the words for both.

You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.

Sample questions

  1. What does each of your homes feel like — and what is different about being in one versus the other?
  2. What do you like about each place that the other one does not have?
  3. What makes you feel at home somewhere — what does that feel like?

Research basis

Grounded in Wallerstein (2000) long-term effects of divorce on children / Ahrons (1994) binuclear family on children in two homes / Kelly & Emery (2003) on children navigating two-household arrangements.
