The following episode is based on Ben's perspective as a child who experienced the effects of his parents divorce. All divorce situations have their own specific details that make them unique but when children are involved there are still some common things a parent can do to help their children better adapt to the situation. We do not advocate for divorce, but if it has already taken place below are a few suggestions to help your children cope with the situation.
1. Be willing to answer your Childs questions, but be respectful when talking about your former spouse. That is still your child's parent.
2. Remember that the things you once loved about your ex are the things your child still loves about your ex. You and/or your spouse chose not to love each other, but the child or children still love both of you.
3. Don't speak badly about the other parent in front of your children.
Remember that your child is suffering and the parents need to be the ultimate comforter, guide and parent to your child.
