Telling your kids about your divorce? Avoid these mistakes.

By Stephen Worrall

ADVERTISEMENTS

Rosalind Sedacca has some great information I wanted to share with

you as my readers:


 
Getting psyched up to tell your children about your pending divorce

-- or separation? Not sure what to say? When to say it? How to

say it? What to expect after the conversation? What to do next?

How do deal with your special circumstances? What therapists,

mediators, attorneys, clergy and other professionals suggest you do

and don't do to make things better all around? Well, you're not

alone.
 
Having the "divorce talk" with a child you love is one of the

toughest conversations you'll ever have. Shouldn't you be prepared?
 
Professionals all agree on some of the most common mistakes parents

make when bringing up divorce or separation. These include:
 
* asking children to bear the weight of making decisions or

choosing sides
* failing to remind children that none of this is in any way their

fault
* forgetting to emphasize that Mom and Dad will still always be

their Mom and Dad -- even after divorce!
* confiding adult details to children in order to attract their

allegiance or sympathy
* neglecting to repeatedly remind children that they are safe,

innocent and very much loved
* failing to explain clearly that everything is going to be okay.
 
These are just some of the most common messages that parents fail

to convey because they're just not prepared -- and most probably

quite scared!
 
If you're about to tackle this tough conversation -- or you know

someone who is -- there's finally help you can depend on to

simplify the process. I just completed writing How Do I Tell the

Kids about the Divorce? A Create-a-Storybook Guide(TM) that

Prepares Your Children -- with Love!
It provides an innovative

new concept I created, based on my own life experience. And, most

importantly, it works!
 
To learn more about this new therapist-, attorney- and

mediator-endorsed guidebook for parents, click on the link below.

You'll get the whole story of how the easy-to-use template works,

how you and your children will benefit from this personalized family

storybook approach -- and much more. Most important of all, this

simple guidebook doesn't just tell you what to say -- it says it

for you! So you're sure to do it right, for the sake of your kids.
