10/07/24 • 33 min
In this episode, we’re diving into a sensitive but crucial conversation: discussing divorce with your children. We all know that divorce is challenging for everyone involved, but how you approach it with your kids can make a significant difference in their emotional well-being.

We’ll be exploring how to explain divorce in a way that’s age-appropriate, how children in different age groups typically react, and how to provide support that fosters security and emotional health.
