In what ways is your divorce affecting your children?

Rosalind Sedacca gives 5 tips on how you can help your children deal with all the stages of the divorce. Here’s the best one…
Strive for as much normalcy in your children’s lives as is feasible. Maintaining relationships with friends and neighbors provides a sense of stability and continuity.

Divorces bring quite enough changes already, so try keep at least their everyday activities the same.
