Divorce: Minimizing the Emotional Toll on Your Kids

Divorce: Minimizing the Emotional Toll on Your Kids

This course comes from my experience of going through 2 divorces with kids and handling hundreds of divorces with children involved in my 20 years of practicing family law.  I have seen the emotional harm parents' words and actions cause their kids during and after a divorce.  Even if your divorce is complete, you can benefit from many of the ideas in tis course.

In this course parents who are considering divorce, divorcing, or who have divorced will learn how to minimize the emotional toll of divorce on their kids.  Divorce is stressful for sure, but you have the power to lower the stress level for your kids.  Ths course helps parents understand the emotional stages of divorce and how to help their kids handle those emotions. It shows parents how to reduce the toll on their kids through their words and actions and how to better communicate with their ex to lower the tension.  The course also looks at parental alientation and how to counter it and helps students learn whether they can coparent with their ex or whether they will have to parallel parent.  Divorce is always stressful for kids, but parents have the power to reduce that stress.  Parents' choices based on looking at what they say and do through the prisim of the effect their words and actions will have on their kids will help their kids.
