Tips About Parenting After Divorce

Going through a divorce is difficult for everyone in your family, so if you have recently separated from your spouse, here are some post-divorce parenting tips that might help you out.

1. Concentrate on your kids when you're with them. Instead of distancing yourself or letting your emotions take over, set aside specific time to deal with those emotions, such as during a lunch with a friend or a meeting with a therapist.

2. Let your individual growth be reflected in your children. Many divorced individuals discover new activities and passions that they didn't previously have time for. Let your kids join in! If you enjoy hiking, bring them along. If you joined a class or a book club, teach them about it as well.

3. Surround yourself with people who love and support you. Depending on your circumstances, you may have friends or acquaintances who are uncomfortable with divorce or your new situation. Clean out your social group and surround yourself and your kids with people who are caring and supportive.
