Tips for Helping Children Deal with Divorce

Divorce will inevitably impact your children in one way or another. And while divorce affects everyone differently, you can help your children cope with this new situation by:

• Trying to act peacefully and avoid confrontation with your ex-spouse in front of your children

• Staying involved in your children’s life as much as you can

• Letting your child know they can talk to you about how they are feeling

• Not talking badly about your former spouse around your children

Additionally, keeping your children’s routine as normal as possible, and observing important traditions, can help make this transition much easier on your kids.
