Children usually have a very hard time coping with their parents' divorce.
Unfortunately, mom and dad can make mistakes and make the child’s experiences even deeper.
This can happen if the parents who started the divorce process do not communicate with the child correctly.
So, what are three phrases that you should not say when talking to a child, so as not to make the psychological blow to him even more serious.
"We are not right for each other"
Parents should not explain the reason for divorce in this way. The problem is that this phrase is too "general".
It's better to talk about the specific reasons for the divorce. For example, "we fought too often."
"Your dad is a bad man"
It is a grave mistake for one parent to make a negative comment about another.
Most likely, the child will perceive what is happening incorrectly. And his reaction may be unexpected and very unpleasant.
"Maybe we'll get married again."
You shouldn't give your child false hope, especially if you are confident that the decision to end the marriage is final.
You shouldn’t say this phrase even if there is still a chance to restore the family.
If a child's hopes that mom and dad will reconcile are not fulfilled, then he will certainly face serious psychological trauma.
