1. Be honest and open: Children need truthful information about what is going on to help them make sense of their new reality.
2. Keep it simple: Children do not need to know every detail about the divorce. Stick to the basics when answering their questions.
3. Reassure them: Let your children know that they are loved and that the divorce is not their fault.
4. Encourage them to express their feelings: It is okay for children to be sad, angry, or confused about the divorce. Create a safe space for them to talk about their emotions with you.
5. Seek professional help: If your children are struggling to cope with the divorce, consider consulting a therapist who specializes in family therapy.
