For the Kids

Divorce can bring about many mental mind fields between spouses. However, keeping your children mentally supported and stable is possible and priority during a divorce. "Mental Health America," has recently released tips on how to best maintain this stability with your children:

• Give Reassurance and Listen: Regardless of age, children often place blame on themselves during their parents' divorce. It is important for you to tell them directly and often that they should not hold blame. It is equally vital that you listen to their perspective.
• Agree On A Routine: Spouses should agree upon the same guidelines for discipline for the children regardless of which house they are at. These include the same bedtimes, punishments, curfews, etc.
• Don't Involve Children In Your Conflict: Remember that regardless of your own current disposition with your spouse a good relationship between your child and their parents is important. Therefore you must refrain from speaking ill of the other parent in front of your kids or using them as spies within the proceedings.
