Lambert Law Office, located in Vancouver WA, not only wants to provide you with a competent family attorney, we also want to help you avoid parenting mistakes.
That’s why we’ve put together this series on the ten biggest parenting mistakes made by divorced parents. In part two, we continue with mistakes four through seven.
- Not telling your children that mom and dad will always love them. It’s common for children to fear that they may lose their mom or dad.
- Don’t confide in your children about your divorce. If you need sympathy or emotional support, talk to one of your adult friends or a therapist.
- Besmirching your children’s other parent. Even if your feelings are justified, ridiculing the other parent in front of your children can create feelings of guilt, insecurity, low self-esteem, and sadness.
- Keeping your children from having a relationship with their other parent. Contemplate not being selfish and keeping your children away from your counterpart. Your children might not resent you for it now, but they may when they’re grown.
The final part of this series debuts next week.
