Talking with children about divorce

Children’s reactions to parental divorce are related to how parents inform them of their decision. Because of this, it is important for parents to think carefully about how they will tell their children and what they will tell them. When possible, the entire family should meet together so that both parents can answer children’s questions. This strategy may also help parents to avoid blaming each other for the divorce. The following tips might make this a smoother process:

  • Set aside time to meet as a family
  • Plan ahead of time what to tell children
  • Stay calm
  • Plan to meet again
