Nesting for Happier Children – Exciting Workshop at the CP Cal Celebration XIV in San Diego

March 26, 2019

Clinical Psychologist and Collaborative Law Coach

The best parents are willing to set aside their own anger, sadness, fear or guilt, in order to make a safe nest for their children.

In stark contrast is the court system, where the clients must be ready to plow through on the court’s time schedule making decisions that they may not yet be in a good emotional place to be making.

It is difficult for children of all ages when their family changes. Occasionally, when the level of conflict has been high, the divorce can come as a relief. More often, though, divorce is experienced by children as extremely stressful, with lots of powerful emotions swirling around in a confusing way.

There are many factors which make divorce stressful for children.

  1. Their parents are distracted by their own pain and the difficult decisions they need to make. This means that sometimes kids aren’t getting the attention they need.
