This is the first in a series of
programs recorded at The Family Support Expo, in
Toronto, Canada, in October of 2012. Congratulations to
Stephen Rosenfield for delivering a great
show!
In this program, attorney
John Schuman joins Steve Peck to discuss the voice of a child
during divorce.
Divorcing is tough enough, but add
children to the mix, and divorce just got more complicated.
Some parents get so caught up in the drama of divorce that they
forget to think about how their children might be processing this
restructuring of their families.
Protecting our children's
innocence should be the priority when divorcing, and this program
will help you gain insight into what your children might be
experiencing, regardless of their ages. In this discussion, Mr.
Schuman also provides valuable advice to parents, especially those
in high-conflict situations.
Topics in the program
include:
- The effect divorce has on children
- Kids don't want to decide where to live
- Children want to have a voice in the situation too
- The harm of fighting with your ex at sporting and public events
- Co-parenting around your children's activities
- The concerns children have when their parents separate
- And much more.
Always remember, your children are
watching you and how you handle your divorce. They will face
their own conflicts in life, and, in many cases, model the behavior
they witnessed in you. Be the best role model you can be
during this very tough time. Your kids deserve it.
