Telling Your Kids About Divorce
Telling your child that you are separating or divorcing is the hardest thing you may ever share with your child. Even though communication may be difficult with your soon-to-be ex, for the sake of your child, take the time and energy it requires to join together on how and when you will share this development. Whenever possible, tell your child together. Reassure your child that it is not their fault, and that their role in the family will not be changing. Keep your child’s age in mind, since younger children can only take in so much information. Adolescents, however, will need specific details to feel secure. While your situation is altering your family, your commitment to being united in parenting your child is a life-time commitment.
