Protecting your children from your divorce
Going through a divorce you never saw coming? These are some of the best ways to minimize the damage to your children.

Divorce is a hard hurdle to overcome, especially when doing so with a young family in tow. Have you and your partner realized that you just can’t make it work? Are you now struggling to decide how you’re going to tell your children? Before you make some major mistakes, make sure you think carefully about how you want to proceed. Divorce is a big deal, and it takes a serious toll on our children when we don’t protect them appropriately.
Your children depend on you.
From the moment they come into this world until the moment that you leave it, your children look for your guidance in all things. You teach them how to walk, how to talk, and even how to use the bathroom. Their eyes turn to you at every new situation, and divorce is no different. Once you and your partner come to an impasse, your child will look to you to know how they should feel, act, and respond to this disruptive new change in their environment.
Your children depend on you to show them how to navigate the ups and downs of life.
