Thinking about how to best tell kids about divorce can help reduce the affect the breakup has on their lives.

How to Tell your Children about Divorce

How you tell your children about divorce depends to a large extent on their age and emotional maturity. Very small children may not realize what is happening. Older children may think the divorce is their fault and may require reassurance. Teenagers may pretend that they are unconcerned and unaffected by the news, while bottling up their emotions. In any case, your children will benefit from a calm, honest, and age-appropriate discussion of the changes they can expect in their lives from your divorce.
