Critical Coaching Conversations:
How Do We Tell the Kids We're Getting Divorced?
Parents never know how kids will react to the news "we're getting divorced", but they do know they want to deliver that news in a way that children are best able to receive and process it.
Learn to coach clients through the process of choosing when, what, and how much to tell. Help them set the tone with their co-parent for a divorce that shields the children from conflict.
Join DCA master educator and child-centered mediator Tracy Callahan and learn to coach clients so they feel ready to have a compassionate, age-appropriate conversation with their kids including:
- Pre-plan with their co-parent
- What all kids need to know
- Age-appropriate information
- Don't make promises they can't keep
- Kids all react differently
- Watch for signs of distress
- What's important after the talk
With your support, clients can feel less afraid and more confident to approach one of the scariest conversations of their lives.
