Making sure children feel supported during a divorce is no small task. Just when you and your ex (or soon-to-be ex) are probably feeling most unmoored, kids are likely to be acting out their own feelings: anxiety, anger, even guilt. They depend on you to create an atmosphere of stability and help them process uncomfortable emotions.
This week on childmind.org we explore what behaviors divorcing parents might expect to see on the part of kids and offer advice on how to respond. From breaking the news about the divorce to minimizing conflict over parenting styles in separate households, we discuss how to make sure children are getting what they need to stay healthy.
