Wings of Friendship

It is crucial for parents and caregivers to understand the thoughts and feelings children may experience when their parents decide to divorce. Divorce can be confusing for children who need reassurance that their basic needs will be met and that they will maintain a relationship with both parents. Take your child's questions and concerns seriously and actively listen to what they have to say.During this transition sibling dynamics may shift-some siblings might grow closer while others may argue fight or become emotionally distant. Remember that every child is unique regardless of their age and their responses to the situation will differ. Feelings of loss and anger are common and just as adults adjust to change in different ways so do children.
