Sponsored by: Positive Parenting Through Divorce Class Online (http://onlinedivorceclass.net) Parenting through a divorce when children are young can present concerns over how to help them through the experience. One way to help children through this early stage of the divorce process is (according to age) to tell them what is happening in the family. In some cases, it makes more sense for children to hear about the decision to separate from both parents. If this is the case, you will want to be sure that you repeatedly tell your children that both parents will always love them and they will always be a family. The only difference will be that there will be two households. Address any concerns they may have regarding their need to maintain a relationship with both parents. Be sure that your children understand their relationship with both parents is forever and that they will not be abandoned. A divorce does not end your child's relationship with either parent! The marital relationship may end, however, the parent-child relationship will continue. |
