Abstract

The article focuses on the activity of making paper bag books as a creative intervention for elementary school children experiencing high-conflict parental divorce. Research shows that school-based interventions for children can help counter the adverse effects of divorce. It states that the paper bag book activity aims to offer a compassionate environment for meaningful connections and perceived commonality among students with similar traumatic experiences. Furthermore, the child-made paper bag books can help empower the child to express his or her innermost feelings.
