Top 5 Ways To Help Your Child Through Divorce

BY BART SMITH, AUTHOR OF B.S. THE BOOK

(1) Let your children know it’s not their fault. Let them know that they are not responsible for their mommy and daddy separating.

(2) Be honest and truthful when discussing matters of "family." Children are smart and very perceptive. Eventually, they’ll pick up on the "truth." Think about your words, choose them wisely, then tell them … the truth. Simple, straightforward language works best every time.

(3) Listen to your children. Let them ask questions. Be honest right back at them. Give them your undivided attention.

(4) Let you children speak freely about their feelings, concerns, sadness and confusion. Encourage them that they can speak to you any time about whatever’s on their mind.

(5) Let your children know there are other children just like them going through divorced situations. Introduce them to other children of divorced, single parents.
