In episode 6 of Divorce Sux the podcast, learn strategies for handling the school holidays.

Today we begin by discussing how I went way overboard for the first Christmas I had with the kids without their mum (00:57).

We then discuss practical tips on how to avoid going overboard as well as getting your kids involved (06:03).

We also discuss strategies for comforting your kids if they are unsettled with their new situation (09:09).

How do you handle hard questions about why mummy and daddy are no longer together? (12:42)

Finally, I offer some ideas about what you can do to make Christmas special, namely:

1. Start new Christmas traditions

2. Give them the most precious gift of all, your time (14:15)
