Zebra Tales: Daddy Moved
language
( Feb. 15, 2016)
One of the most difficult conversations parents can have with their children is about changes such as separation, or divorce. These types of changes are difficult and can be traumatic for children. 99% of children are delicate, and easily hurt even though they put on a brave face.
I remember the tears welling up in my son's eyes as I told him his Dad and I weren't going to live in the same house anymore; how I struggled to find the right words to make him believe that we still loved him and that everything would work out in the long run. Only time, and several conversations soothed his little spirit. His old sister was relieved (or maybe she put on a brave face) as we were better parents apart, than together. Each child is different.
Zebra Tales- Daddy Moved the 4th book in the Wisdom of Mr. Stripes series discusses changes that can occur in families. When parents have problems and disagree on certain key issues a child needs to know they are not to blame, especially when the disagreements involves the child.
Life is always changing and sometimes change comes because someone moves away. If this happens in your family, it is very important for a child to say what they need to say.
Families are different, and not all parents are a mom or dad, they could be grandparents, aunts or adult friends. Sometimes families have to live apart. Yet whether near or far, the Love we share connects us like rainbow to our heart.
