A top attorney can help you with legal issues that arise during your divorce in Vancouver, but who can help your kids?
Obviously, family, friends, teachers, and counselors are great resources. They can do a lot to help your kids cope with your divorce.
There’s another option. One that comes on four legs, doesn’t speak, and is hopefully house trained.
We’re talking about pets, in particular dogs and cats. They are great resources for children of divorce.
If you have a pet, allow your child to spend as much time with them as possible. If you don’t have a pet, considering getting one, but only if you’re sure you can take care of them and give them a nice home.
If you don’t have a Fido or Fluffy, and getting one is out of the question, see if your children can spend time with pets belonging to friends and family.
Pets help children cope with their parents’ divorce because they offer unconditional love, make the perfect confidants, and help reduce stress.
In fact, pets have been scientifically proven to lower stress, blood pressure, and cholesterol.
