Children should never feel responsible for their parents’ legal battle.
Even when emotions are high, protecting them from adult conflict is one of the most important things you can do.
This includes avoiding:
• asking them to report on the other household
• venting adult frustrations to them
• putting them in the middle of disagreements
Kids thrive when they know at least one parent is focused on their emotional safety.
