When caught up in the emotional turmoil of divorce in Vancouver WA, it is easy for you to forget the emotional needs of your children.
The following are a list of questions to ask yourself to make sure you are protecting your child’s emotional well-being during divorce
How can I help my child to develop a sense of security and trust in him/herself, in people, in the world, and in getting his/her needs met?- How can I caringly protect my child from excessive conflicts and frustrations at home?
- How can I help my child not to feel guilty or ashamed about mistakes, accidents or failures?
- How can I assist my child to feel a sense of self-esteem and encouragement?
- How can I encourage independence and a feeling of competency in my child?
- How can I discipline my child without having him/her develop a negative self-image?
- How can I help my child to feel good about him/herself, being male or female, secure when away from me and curious about life?
Stopping to take a few moments to ask yourself these questions regularly will help to remind you that your most important priority during your divorce is parenting and loving your little ones.
