The process of going through a divorce is complex, and something children do not fully understand.  It causes turmoil in the family from the time of separation all the way through the divorce process.  There is a lot of pain for both parents and children.  There really is no easy way to get through a divorce, but there are things you can do to help your child cope with the emotional crisis that comes as a result of divorce

Children are often the ones who are standing on the sidelines watching this crisis.  Kids need adult figures in their life, people who they can trust and feel secure with.  A divorce can cause children to doubt one or both of their parents.

This Better Family University Course will help strengthen parent-child relationships by concentrating on the roles adults can take in helping your child cope with divorce.

Make sure your child can count on you during and after the process of a divorce.  Kids need adult guidance and the security of knowing that they are still important - despite parent's attention dealing with the many issues of divorce

About This Course

Parents going through a divorce are usually very concerned about who will have the greater custody, if any at all, of their children.  Choosing which adult will gain custody relates directly to who will have the most decision-making responsibilities, and where the children will predominantly live.  But, to a child, they are not so concerned about the ins and outs of the custody battle, as they are about who will meet their needs, and if their parents will ever have a relationship again.

It is no doubt that the divorce process has many challenges and questions.  This course helps you sort through these dilemmas that deal particularly with the well-being of your child, so you can get straight answers and knowledgeable advice about looking out for your child's best interest.

Being honest with your child when talking about separation or divorce, is vital.  It is important not be critical of your spouse during these conversations.  Certain things that you cannot expect from your child during and after a divorce are:

• Asking your child to be a messenger between you and your spouse.  You have to be mature enough to speak with your ex-spouse about issues yourself.
• Expecting your child to be a family spy and report back to you what goes on in the other household.
• Putting up with being interrogated when your children return to you from the other household.
• Letting your children carry around feelings that they must have done something to cause the divorce.  It is imperative to put their mind at ease about this as soon as possible.

This Better Family University Course will give you important information and resources that will help you deal with your child.  It will give you the confidence to help your child cope.  Too many parents become overwhelmed with guilt during a divorce, and children are left to deal with their own feelings.  This course will teach you how not to let that happen.
