How can I help my kids go back to school after my Glen Burnie, MD divorce?
Divorce is something that can affect all aspects of a childs life, including when she goes back to school. Although neither of you may realize it just yet, the experience may be quite different, which can take some getting used to. If you prepare your child for what to expect and help her, going back after your Glen Burnie, MD divorce doesnt have to be that tricky.
Have a Talk
Sit your child down and discuss her feelings about your Anne Arundel County divorce. Ask her if shes worried about how it will affect school, and then try to come up with solutions to the problems yourself. Let her know she can come to you anytime to talk about what she feels and any issues she may be experiencing.
Counsel Her on What to Say
Your childs school mates may not be aware of your Glen Burnie divorce, and she may be worried about how to break the news. First, tell her she doesnt have to if she doesnt want to. Secondly, an easy way to explain the situation is to simply say she lives with one parent some days and the other parent the other days. She doesnt have to go into any more detail than that, especially if she doesnt want to.
Help Her With Homework
Helping your child with her homework is important, even if you arent the custodial parent. This is a bonding time and helping her shows that you are interested in her education and care. It also gives you an idea of how she is doing in school, which can help you feel more involved.
