Divorce Sucks! Don’t Make it Suck For Your Kids Too

Our kids are just as affected by divorce as we are.

Unless your kid is old enough to express how they feel and can adequately explain how they think and feel we have no way of knowing exactly how they are affected.

We can guess but that could be as hard as trying to guess the number someone is thinking of between 1-100.

Make things positive.

Do whatever you can to make them feel that you want to spend time with them doing what they like to do.

After all, we are in the age of technology so use it to your advantage.

If your kid likes to play Roblox, Fortnite, or any other online game, there is no excuse not to play with them 1 or 2 times a week.

Invest in spending time with them.

Do whatever you can to make sure the divorce doesn’t suck for your kids too.

Video call with your kid so you can get some face-to-face interaction with them when they are away.

These are some examples of some ways to spend time when your kids are not with you.

Respect the other parents’ time and don’t infringe.

However, set the precedent that it is ok for your child to call the other parent when they are with you and in return it will be ok for them to call you when they are with the other parent.

Don’t forget Co-Parenting Rule #1

Never talk bad or disrespect the other parent in front of your kids!!
