5 Tips To Help Kids Cope With Your Divorce Proceedings
4. Restore normalcy
“We can understand that your schedule and daily habits may be affected during divorce. But if you are able to restore normalcy and carry on your own and your child’s routine as if nothing has happened, it will give your children less reason to worry or be troubled”, explained Megan. This tip is all about maintaining the basic schedule of your house that existed before the divorce. Your kids will be satisfied and less stressed, if things don’t seem too out of the way.
5. Tell your ex to help out
Let’s face it, you as a parent alone cannot be expected to handle the worries of your children during divorce. Ask your ex to look beyond the problems and issues that you both have and chip in to help for the sake of your children. “Although I faced a bitter divorce battle with my ex, I made sure he visited Chris every week, even while the divorce proceedings were going through. It made Chris feel happy and satisfied to learn that his father was still going to be around”, said Megan. Keep this tip in mind and tell your ex to actively help you in handling your kids during this period of crisis.
