Parenting through divorce: How to show up for your child

How your parental presence can help your children thrive

I had a great conversation with the wonderful divorce and breakup coach Claire Macklin about the effect divorce may have on children.


For many of her clients how their children will fair is their biggest worry as they guide their families through a very challenging time.  They want to spare their children from the fall out of a marriage breakdown while retaining a loving, close relationship as they navigate this significant life transition.


I share my advice which is based on the excellent research of Dr Dan Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson. I focus on the steps you can take and the things you need to do your best to avoid in order to build a secure relationship with your children and enable them to thrive, both through your divorce and beyond.  It's hard work but it's worth it.
