Supporting Children Through Divorce or Separation
Divorce or separation is a highly emotional and stressful event for both you and your ex-partner, which can significantly impact your child’s world.
Children often experience feelings of loss, anger, and anxiety about the changes in their lives. This can lead to emotional and behavioral issues and affect their performance in school.
While staying together for the children may seem beneficial, continued conflict can be equally harmful.
Children exposed to high-conflict environments may face various challenges due to ongoing stress and unhappiness at home.
Fortunately, there are ways to mitigate the effects of divorce or separation on your children. Opting for
family mediation over court proceedings can be quicker, less stressful, and less costly. It empowers you to shape your family’s future and has been shown to foster stronger long-term relationships between parents and children post-divorce.
When discussing divorce or separation with your children:
- Approach the conversation together if possible
- Avoid assigning fault or blame for the breakup
- Reassure them that it’s not their fault
- Provide ample reassurance and let them know that experiencing various emotions is normal
- Keep explanations simple and ensure they understand the upcoming changes
- Be patient and ready to repeat information as they adapt to the new situation
