How to help your children
Your children need you
- Listen to your children
- Tell them that you love them
- Get involved in your children’s lives
- Keep them informed at an age appropriate level
- Have routines and predictable patterns
- Tell them the separation is not their fault
- Maintain relationships with extended family members
- Children need to have fun and be kept out of the middle of conflict
- Be positive about the other parent (even if it is not easy)
- Pass messages parent to parent, not through the children
