Parent/Child Communication – even more vital Post-Divorce
It’s no secret that one of the biggest challenges a parent faces after divorce is staying in good communication with your children. Obviously all parents struggle with communication issues as their children grow, but children who have had their lives dramatically altered by separation or divorce need even more attention – and diligent observation by their parents. Children tend not to tell you when they are angry, resentful, confused, hurt or depressed.

The holiday season can bring up painful memories of happier times, especially if you are divorced and have children.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Rosalind Sedacca
My purpose is to raise the consciosness of divorcing couples so they will stop, talk and create a caring plan of action before having that first crucial conversation with their children. I provide six essential messages every child needs to hear and understand at this time. Supported by my Child-Centered Divorce network, website, ezine, blog and other resources, I advice parents to make a conscious choice to create a collaborative, harmonious Child-Centered Divorce which will benefit the entire family for months, years and decades to come.
"When you mix two egos with dramatically differing perspectives, you’re bound to get an entanglement of emotions compounded by allegations, defensiveness and self-righteousness. Parents who get caught up in their own emotional dramas too often lose sight of who really gets damaged in the process – their children.”
“It’s not divorce per se that harms children. It’s the parent’s approach to divorce that makes all the difference in the short and long-term outcomes for the children.”
