Controlling Conflict in Divorce

Dr. Clatch writes about how divorcing parents can control conflict - especially in front of their children.

Parents should be mindful about fighting in front of their children. Divorce often brings about a wide range of negative emotions for spouses, emotions that can erupt into conflict. By keeping conflict to a minimum in front of children, parents will be able to help reassure their children that the situation is under control. Fighting, yelling and arguing in front of children can further damage the child’s sense of security. By keeping conflict to a minimum, parents can do wonders for improving their child’s sense of wellbeing even in the wake of a challenging situation.
