Module 2: Understanding Your Kid’s Emotional Landscape

In this module, we’re turning our attention to something that often goes unseen; kids’ grief and big feelings during divorce.

Even in the calmest of divorces, the changes can shake a child’s world. They may not always have the words, but the sadness, fear, and anger still show up. We’ll help you recognize what grief can look like in kids, create space for their big emotions, and offer comfort without minimizing their pain.

This isn’t easy work—but it’s powerful.
