Telling your children about your divorce or separation is one of the hardest conversations a parent can face. In this first episode, Mitch, Bill, and Bella from Civilised Separations explore how to approach this pivotal moment with clarity, compassion, and care.
Drawing from their experience in child-inclusive mediation, post-separation family repair, and relational support, they offer practical insights for navigating this conversation in a way that supports your children’s emotional wellbeing and sets the tone for healthier coparenting.
You'll learn:
– When and how to talk to your children about separation
– Why your emotional state matters more than your words
– What children really need to hear (and what they don’t)
– How to avoid blame and conflict during the conversation
– Tips for creating a supportive foundation for future family life
Whether you're preparing for a separation, in the midst of a divorce, or supporting someone else through it, this episode offers grounded, thoughtful advice on putting your children’s needs at the heart of the process.
