We are a society that loves our phone apps.

Holiday Hints For Divorced Parents

 Posted on November 21,2012 in Divorce

Divorce is always hard and if you have children, it can be even more emotionally demanding. As we are just past Halloween, it might be good to look at handling holiday issues when you are separated or newly divorced. The holiday season can be hard to deal with for both children and their separated parents. A blog on psychologytoday.com provided a list of ten hints for the divorced around holidays. The first thing to remember is that the holidays are not all about you. An adult can deal with a different holiday celebration better than a child who has high hopes for their holidays. Secondly, it is wise to make holiday plans a little earlier than you used to, and it will be easier to do if you communicate with your ex about what they had in mind for a holiday. You will both have to miss some holidays with your kids, so the best thing for everyone is to talk about the plans and make some compromises. The holidays are also not a competition between parents. Children might appreciate gifts, but emotional presence and attention goes beyond a fancy gift or a dozen. Try to concentrate on the holidays themselves, and not on bribing your children Lastly, work out the details in advance, like already mentioned, but also make sure to tell your children about what the plans are. This will make them feel more secure in the midst of spending holidays in a new and terrifying way. Divorces are tough emotionally for everyone involved, and that is exactly why getting an experienced divorce attorney to help you is important. A skilled divorce attorney has been through quite a few divorce cases in the past, so they know how to deal with these issues. If you are planning to file for divorce or already did so, contact a dedicated Illinois divorce attorney in Kane County today.
