3 Ways to Make Divorce Easy on the Kids

As hard as divorce is on a couple, divorce is even more confusing and frightening to the children of divorcing couples. Here are a few ways to make the process a bit easier for them:

1. Make an Effort to Get Along: Despite whatever issues you have with one another, you and your ex have a responsibility to ensure that your children are not dragged into those issues.

2. Speak Kindly About Your Ex Around the Children: As much as you might like to tell everyone exactly what you think about your ex, children should not have to hear negative things about either of their parents.

3. Make Sure They Know Its Not Their Fault: In most cases children don’t understand why their parents are divorcing and at some point they may blame themselves. Let them know that the issue was with your spouse and was in no way their fault.
