      <image:title>Blog - What to Say (and Not Say) to Your Children about Divorce - Clients come to us at all different stages of separation. Some have been living separately for months and have already begun figuring out the logistics of two homes, new routines, and parenting schedules. Others are sitting in our office very early in the process, sometimes before they have even told their children that anything is changing. One of the first questions we often hear from those parents is also one of the hardest: What do I say to my children? Usually, the question is carrying much more weight than the words themselves suggest. These parents know that what is said, and how it is said, will be a BIG conversation – one that has the potential to stay with their children for years to come. Parents want to get this right and to ensure that their children are going to be okay (they are going to be okay).</image:title>
      <image:caption>It is understandable, then, that parents often look for a script. They search online for exactly what to say, read books about talking to children about divorce, or ask their friends what worked for their families.</image:caption>
