How can I help my kids to deal with a divorce?

Helping children through divorce

-Try not to make any unnecessary changes; divorce is a big enough change for kids to deal with.
-However difficult it may be, do not talk badly about the other parent (at least within earshot of the children).
-Do not lead the children to believe that a reconciliation may occur. They need to understand that the divorce is final.
-Do not ask your children to be your best friend or confidant
