Divorce and Holidays
Divorce and Holidays - Ponderings by Paris…..your school counselor.
Holiday time will be upon us before we know it! I would like to address these thoughts to families that have divorced or separated. I have facilitated parents of divorce groups for many years on Saturdays to give guidance to parents as they support their children through this life changing event. Holidays can be tough times for the children of divorce but it mostly depends on how the parents handle the change of creating new traditions. Please know that change is difficult but can also be positive. A favorite poster in my office says “People can alter their lives by altering their attitudes,” and that is exactly what will help with facing new challenges in life. Remember that your children will often reflect the attitude that you carry in life…ouch. I know that may be painful to consider, but it is so true! I would like to offer some recess support times for children of divorce or separation. I will call them the Banana Split groups, and they will be for 1st- 5th grade students. We will meet and gather some support from one another. Grade level and times will be determined after I get a feel for the number interested. Please send me a note stating you would like this group support offered for your child and include their name and classroom. Never hesitate to give me a call if you have concerns or questions. Enjoy the time you have with your children…it will pass all too quickly!
