Divorce can be extremely stressful for children. How they react to divorce can depend on their age, personality, and the circumstances of the divorce. The following are five tips to help ease the stress and pain of divorce for children.
1. Don’t Speak Negatively of Your Ex
Refrain from disparaging the other parent to the child or in the child’s presence. Any negative talk about the other parent is extremely hurtful to the child, and from my experience, such behavior often backfires as the child begins to feel anger towards the parent who is attempting to alienate them from the other parent. Never put a child in the middle of conflict or force them to take sides.
2. Spare Them From the Drama
Keep all heated discussions and legal talk away from the child.
3. Stay Equally Involved
Keep both parents involved in the child’s life as much as reasonably possible.
4. Focus on Stability
Try to keep the child’s home life and school life as stable as possible throughout the divorce process.
5. Consider Counseling
If both parents agree, family counseling may benefit the child and the family through the difficulties of divorce.
