What Children Need to Know About Their Parents’ Divorce…Really
Most parents don’t ask, “What do children really need to know about divorce?” They ask what they should say. Those are not the same questions. This session reframes the conversation into three buckets children actually navigate: anxiety, boundaries of information, and expectations with choice. Children coping with divorce are managing uncertainty long before they process legal realities. They need structure that lowers anxiety, developmentally appropriate limits on adult disclosures, and clarity about expectations paired with age-appropriate autonomy. Participants leave with language and strategies they can use immediately to guide parents away from oversharing, silence, or unfiltered emotional spillover, and toward communication that stabilizes children during transition.
