Taking care of your kids after a divorce
Divorce can make things bitter between you and your spouse, but being a parent you should not let it affect your child as that could be detrimental to his emotional, physical and mental health. Here’s how you can help your child cope with your divorce:
1. Work as one team: It’s important to assure your child that no matter what happens between the two of you, you would always be one team and would always be by his side in times of need and even otherwise. This also means that you celebrate important festivals and occasion together as a family, just like Hrithik and Sussanne.
2. Never force our child to take sides: Irrespective of your relationship status, you both will still be your parents and your child would naturally love you both equally. This is why never force your child to take sides and drag him in your spats and quarrels.
3. Never disrespect your spouse in front of your kids: Communicate effectively and be cordial to each other, no matter how bitter you are from inside. Never ever disrespect your spouse in front of your child as for him you two would always remain his parents. For life!
