Divorce: it's a process no family imagines they will have to face, though for some it's the best course of action. Bare in mind, regardless of whether this is the best decision for you and your family or not, it will still be an emotionally taxing journey, especially for your children if you have any. It's easy to want to just rush blindly through the process and avoid feeling the heavy feelings of frustration and grief from losing a relationship and a person you care about. But there are ways you can navigate divorce without it being such a traumatic event in your family's lives.

#1 Leave your children out of conflict. They are just children of course and shouldn't have to carry the emotional burden of having to choose between parents that are both loved dearly and equally. #2 Communication is Golden. It's important to talk about your triggers and work through your relationship issues. #3 Take your time. Don't rush into all the legal processes until after you've sought help from a professional such as a couples therapist if things are still not working out in the relationship.

Stress when parenting is often created when we as parents feel pulled in two, 3 or even 5 different directions, i.e. trying to prepare dinner, while your child is pulling on your shirt demanding your attention. It may feel like your children believe you should be on constant retainer and available to their beckon call…But their behavior is not focused on trying to distract or bother you, or on getting your attention as much as it is an attempt at finding ways to connect with you.

Here is a Parenting Strategy to keep calmness in the home:
Give your child a job while you’re doing what you need to do.
-->Organize them before they start their job,
-->Give them a time frame for their job and set a timer,
-->Let them know that when the timer goes off you’ll do something together.

For example if you are cooking dinner, tell your child: "it’s your job to build the biggest tower." Make eye contact, and say, "I see yo and when I’m done preparing something for dinner we can play together.”
