Agony Aunties: Navigating Separation and Talking to Children

In this Agony Aunties episode, we address a listener's question on how to talk to children about parental separation. Their answer covers the importance of having the initial conversation together as a family, being honest and age-appropriate, avoiding blame, and reassuring children about the changes and constants in their lives. Key points include practicing the conversation in advance, maintaining a unified narrative, and providing ongoing support. Resources like Cafcass (cafcass.gov.uk), Gingerbread (gingerbread.org.uk), and Family Lives (familylives.org.uk)are suggested for further support.
