Child Psychologist Emphasizes Need for Clear Communication During Divorce

Children need clear explanations about how divorce will change their lives, according to child psychologist Mária Balážová. Speaking on the "Fathers in Diapers" podcast, Balážová stressed that parents should explain practical matters such as whether children will maintain contact with both parents, who will take them to activities, and whether visits to grandparents will continue as before. The psychologist noted that children invariably wonder if they are somehow responsible for their parents' divorce. Balážová works directly with parents to practice these conversations, helping them prepare for realistic discussions about the changes divorce will bring to family life.
