You're divorcing or you suspect you will be, and whether or not your kids will be okay still keeps you up at night. If that's you or someone you're close to, don't miss today's episode. Dr. JoAnne Pedro-Carroll has spent decades of her career working with and researching the responses of kids to divorce and advising parents on wise ways to help them adjust. She has an enormous respect for parents who have done the hard work to do such things as overcome conflict, become civil and caring toward each other as exes, and maintain strong, loving ties with their kids. As she points out, kids have common fears such as whether their parents will still love them, or whether they caused the divorce. She unpacks for us the approaches and messages parents can adopt to avoid putting their kids in the middle.
