Lambert Law Office, a practitioner of family law in Vancouver WA, wants you to raise healthy children even though you’ve subjected them to your divorce.
Raising children is difficult. Divorce doesn’t make it any easier.
Experts recommend that you talk to your children about your divorce. Those same experts will also tell you that the biggest complaint of both children and adults is that the other doesn’t listen.
To ensure that you maintain a positive relationship with your children, and to keep them emotionally healthy, you might want to consider following our ten suggestions.
In this entry, we’ll divulge two of our ten suggestions. The rest of our suggestions will be revealed in future entries.
- Listen first, talk second. This is a bit of a tightrope as no one, including your children, want to be lectured to, but they’re not your peers, they’re your kids. Experts suggest that you listen first and then offer opinions. That might avoid fights and put you and your children on the proverbial same page.
- Don’t forget your body language. No matter the age of your children, they will, on some level, notice your body language. Experts recommend that your facial expressions match your message.
The second entry in this series debuts next week.
