			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What happens when a married couple no longer understand each other&#8230;or should I say no longer love each other enough to make their marriage work? Of course, the answer would be DIVORCE. In a situation wherein a married couple no longer wants to give in, try a little harder or forgive and forget&#8230;divorce is the only way out.<br />
Easier said than done. Why? Because of the kids who will be affected, the kids who will suffer more, the kids who have to carry the burden that they already belong into the so called broken family.</p>
<p>What should we do to make them understand? What should we do make accepting easier for them?<br />
Here are the few tips that we can do to make things a little better for them.<br />
1. Make them understand that they did not lose their parents.<br />
-the first thing that makes it harder for the kids to accept is the thought that they will lose their parents. Parents should talk to their kids and tell them that they need to go on separate lives, but will remain and will always remain their parents. Assure them that you will both be around during the special times in their lives.<br />
-make them feel that you are both there for them. Schedule yourselves in spending times with them.</p>
<p>2. Couple should fix things between them&#8230; and better end up as friends.<br />
- Children don&#8217;t want to see their parents fighting. So if they see that their parents are better off as friends, then things will be easier to understand. Let your children see the positive side of divorce in your relationship&#8230;like being more open, gain self respect, healed bitterness and freedom.</p>
<p>3. Make them feel at home at both sides.<br />
- of course one should have the custody of the kids. Avoid brainwashing the kids by telling them how bad your ex-husband/wife is. This won&#8217;t help but will only make them feel insecure and unlucky. Instead, give them the idea that living is healthier and peaceful to all of you this way. Give them time to spend and enjoy with your ex-husband/wife.</p>
<p>4. Prepare them.<br />
-Surely not all people will understand your situation. It is possible that they will be teased by their peers or classmates. Let them understand that you cannot please everybody and that you cannot live with the expectations of other people&#8230;that you they may not be like the others but assure them that they are loved.</p>
<p>There is no easy way of making kids to accept the divorce of their parents&#8230; but with proper approach&#8230;acceptance will not be far from reach.</p>
