Tell Your Child That You Are Getting Divorced
Once you decide that you are going to divorce it is important that you plan how you tell your children about it
. Telling them together is important for several reasons. If you tell them together, your children will understand that the decision to divorce has not been taken lightly; they will understand that you are united on the decision to divorce. Because you are both involved in telling the children about the divorce, your children will feel better able to speak to both parents about their feeling and concerns relating to the divorce.Children usually realise that their parents' relationship is in a poor state before they decide to divorce, but they rarely foresee the divorce itself. This means that your children are often shocked when you finally tell them that you are splitting up. Some children get very angry or emotional during the divorce. This can be difficult for parents to cope with, after all both parents are usually in a raw emotional state too.
It is vital that you are both show your children understanding at this time, regardless of how you feel.
It is not uncommon for children to blame themselves for the divorce. Reassure the children that they have not caused the divorce. Make sure you explain to them what will happen next. They need to know who they will be living with and where and when they will get too see the parent who is leaving the family home.
Continue to discuss how you are going to raise your children. Make decisions concerning the children together, including those relating to their schooling, recreation and discipline. Once you have decided on something stick to it in both homes. If your children have to be in bed by 10pm at mums then when they stay with dad they should also go to bed at 10pm. If you do not do so, your children will be disobedient and unruly.
