Helping Your Children Navigate Your Divorce

Being divorced is like being hit by a Mack truck. If you live through it, you start looking very carefully to the right and to the left.
-Jean Kerr

If we as adults feel this way when we are getting a divorce, just imagine how it must feel to our children. I will be doing a series of postings and podcasts about helping your children survive a divorce the best way that they can. I will include: activities that you can do with them to ease the transition, ideas on how to tell them about the divorce, thoughts about what to tell them if your ex is having a new baby with someone else, and some thoughts on how to maneuver custody and visitation. I will include interviews with parents who have teenage children who are trying to play both parents against each other and parents with younger children who are dealing with how their ex is treating their children. I hope that this information will help ease some of the fear and pain associated with divorce.
