Helping Children Cope With Divorce

78287715Moving between homes can be a stressful time for children. The easier a parent can make it, the better it is for them. Transition can also be difficult for you as a parent, because you’re giving up your children for a period of time. Family therapists encourage divorced parents to give their children “adjustment time” when transitioning between homes. Here are some tips for easing the transition:

  • Give children something to look forward to when they come home, for example: a special snack, alone time, a TV program to watch, and so forth.
  • Involve your children in what they need to do when they come home, for example: reading, doing homework, checking email, etc.
  • Ask your children if there’s anything you can do to make it easier.
