Divorce is a big transition for children, but if you and your ex-partner prioritise their needs throughout the process, they can continue to feel loved and supported.
Children need different things at different ages – but all kids need a reliable, predictable and consistent routine to feel safe and secure. They also need to be able to talk about their feelings, and to know that you are always willing to listen to them.
Here, we guide you through every phase of helping your children through your divorce, from breaking the news to them that you are separating, to introducing them to your new partner if you move on at some point in the future. Plus, we help you to face the challenge of caring for children living between two homes, and offer 10 tips for keeping their wellbeing – and yours – on track when things get stressful.
Co-parents aren’t always on the same page, so we also explore common issues that arise, with strategies for resolving them while keeping communication effective and respectful.
