Kids go through different developmental stages throughout their adolescent years. Understanding what stage your child is will enable you to better understand what they need through this life transition.

In this episode Michael Flores, LPC-S and Jinohn Marr, LMFT discuss the developmental stages of kids 5-11. They will share tips on how to best tell them about the divorce to supporting them throughout the process. They discuss how children having too much information often puts them in the middle and leads them to play one of the roles kids can play in divorce. (See Episode 2 "The Roles Children Play in Divorce" for more information on that topic!)

Michael and Jinohn share guidance on how to handle it when the other parent is talking poorly about you to your child. They share how setting the precedent in your home sends a message to your child of respect and love.

Jinohn shares an applicable tip on how to teach younger children about different perspectives. Hint: You'll see the story of "The Three Little Pigs" in a whole new way!
