Telling the kids about your divorce? Avoid these mistakes!

Getting psyched up to tell your children about your pending divorce
-- or separation? Not sure what to say? When to say it? How to
say it? What to expect after the conversation? What to do next?
How do deal with your special circumstances? What therapists,
mediators, attorneys, clergy and other professionals suggest you do
and don't do to make things better all around? Well, you're not
alone.

Having the "divorce talk" with a child you love is one of the
toughest conversations you'll ever have. Shouldn't you be prepared?

Professionals all agree on some of the most common mistakes parents
make when bringing up divorce or separation. These include:

* asking children to bear the weight of making decisions or
choosing sides

* failing to remind children that none of this is in any way their
fault

* forgetting to emphasize that Mom and Dad will still always be
their Mom and Dad -- even after divorce!

* confiding adult details to children in order to attract their
allegiance or sympathy

* neglecting to repeatedly remind children that they are safe,
innocent and very much loved

* failing to explain clearly that everything is going to be okay!

These are just some of the most common messages that parents fail
to convey because they're just not prepared -- and most probably
quite scared!
