One challenge parents often confront is how to tell their children about the separation and divorce.  There is help at hand in Jean McBride's book, from counsellors or even in family mediation.  It is not unusual that in family mediation, parents work together to create a message that both can agree on, that is supportive of children and is consistent.  Family mediators work with parents to consider the specific context, and also to use psycho-social education to consider the age and developmental stage of children.  Listen to hear about factors for different age groups.
