Answer their questions
Children may ask questions that are difficult to answer throughout?or even months or years after?the separation or divorce. Do not avoid a question or give your child a misleading answer; if they have the courage to ask, try to find the courage to answer. If you don't have an answer for them, be honest about it – say you don't know, or haven't made a decision yet.
See Responding to children's questions for more information on how to answer children's questions about the separation or divorce.
