Episode 20 - 10 tips for telling your children about the divorce - PT 2

Psychotherapist/divorce expert Kate Scharff has worked with separating and divorcing families for 30 years. Both she and her co-host, psychotherapist Jane Prelinger, have been through divorce themselves- both as children and as adults. So they know, first-hand, that divorce is more painful and destabilizing, even, than most people imagine. In this podcast Kate and Jane offer compassionate, common-sense, practical and never-preachy advice on even the toughest divorce topics. Their message? Divorce (and parenting during divorce) is tough, and you're only human. But with the right blend of support, advice and hard work, you can learn to navigate it so that you (and your kids, if you have them) can move through this transition whole, happy, and ready to get on with the rest of your life.
