3 Tips For Shielding Children From Divorce Issues


(MENAFNEditorial)

MyDivorceDocuments.com (MDD) is an online divorce review site which attracts a number of visitors going through divorce while trying to protect their children from the potential fallout. In the spirit of helping these individuals with the transition the company has offered a new tip sheet. Here’s what they recommend.

Tip One: Don’t Turn Them In To Messengers.

MDD notes that if you and your spouse get along well enough to use a forms completion site such as the one detailed in this My Divorce Papers review it may be easier to keep from dragging your kids into whatever tension still exists. However a danger that most parents take for granted is in turning their children into the messenger.
“If there is a serious communication that needs to be made between you and your ex it needs to be direct no matter how difficult it is” explains a MDD representative. “Interactions between two divorced adults are too complex for a young child to understand and as kids get older and begin to pick up on context they will start to feel like pawns in a war between Mom and Dad.”  

Tip Two: Present A United Front.

MDD advises co-parents to work together for the betterment of their child because anything less creates confusion uncertainty and an opportunity for children to test parental resolve in unhealthy ways. Explains the rep: “You don’t have to like each other anymore. That isn’t what co-parenting is about. All you have to do is be able to agree that you love your child or children and that a united front is always in their best interests ahead of two different parenting methods.”  

Tip Three:  Don’t Trash The Other Parent.

More than using children as messengers MDD urges parents not to get even more brazen with their discontent regarding their ex. “A child does not need to hear what a loser their father is or how their mother is putting her new boyfriend ahead of him” the MDD rep says. “I wish this was common sense enough that it didn’t have to be said but you see it every day. Moms and Dads trashing the child’s other parent in front of them and not realizing or not caring that their child will take those insults to heart. After all he or she is 50/50 of each parent. Naturally they start to wonder if those insults are meant for them as well. And at that point the damage has already been done.”
