You are correct in your sensitivity toward telling kids about divorce. My own experience more than a decade ago led to my writing a new guidebook for parents on how to create a storybook with family photos and history as a successful way to have this tough conversation. It's called How Do I Tell the Kids about the Divorce? A Create-a-Storybook(TM) Guide to Preparing Your Children -- With Love! Therapists, attorneys, mediators, educators and other professionals from around the U.S. are attesting to the value of the fill-in-the-blanks, age-appropriate templates. Six therapists contribute their expertise to the book, as well. I sincerely hope divorcing couples will stop, talk and create a plan before having that crucial "divorce" talk with their children and pray, for the sake of their kids, that they will decide to move ahead in creating a child-centered divorce. Free articles, a free newsletter and more information can be found at www.childcentereddivorce.com.
Best wishes,
Rosalind Sedacca, CCT

I work for a small family charity whose aim is to help parents and professionals better meet the true needs of children when families are in crisis. The charity has created a free and interactive website that helps parents reduce conflict and focus on their children. Many parents have reported back that focusing on their children's needs was also the best path to their own healing. Please feel free to visit www.UpTpParents.org. All of the resources on the site are free and there are no commercial links.
