Cupid’s Advice: 

Going through the divorce process can be extremely stressful, and it can be even more difficult to navigate for the kids involved. If you’re looking for some ways to keep the divorce process from affecting your kids, Cupid has some advice for you:

1. Keep the legal talk to a minimum: When you’re going through the legal process of a divorce, try not to let your kids hear too much about this. You will have to be honest about new living situations and rules, but they don’t need to know all the details of the custody battle and legal ramifications. This will only add to their stress and sadness.

2. Stick to their routines: Another important factor in keeping your kids from being affected by the divorce process is to minimize disruptions to their routines as much as possible. You don’t want them to feel like too much has changed, so try to maintain a sense of stability for them. This will keep them from feeling like their whole life has been uprooted because of the divorce.

3. Don’t talk negatively about your ex: Even though it may be tempting, talking negatively about your ex in front of your children may only confuse them. You don’t want your relationship issues with your ex to carry into their own relationship. You children still deserve a good relationship with both of their parents, so try to refrain from blaming or bad mouthing your ex in front of them.
