In January, following the holiday season -- when more divorces take place than any other month -- parents and divorce professionals in nations around the world will gather together physically as well as digitally. Their purpose is to educate parents about how to prevent negative consequences for children during and after separation or divorce. We will be sharing advice and insights to help parents make the best decisions regarding their children's well-being when coping with divorce issues. In cities around the world divorce experts will be announcing local educational events including workshops, discussion groups, coaching, interviews and other activities designed for divorced parents and those contemplating divorce. In addition, during January parents are invited to access a variety of free teleclasses presented by "child-centered" divorce experts providing sound advice on divorce and parenting issues.

Kim Kardashian rushed into marriage for many of the wrong reasons and made many serious relationship mistakes. If you’re divorced and looking to find a healthier, happier relationship ahead, or marrying for the first time and want to avoid relationship disasters, here are some tips that are worth serious consideration:
What part does media play in how divorce affects children? Children do not have the cognitive skills to observe media in a critical manner and evaluate; they simply take what they see at face value and process it as fact. It is important to teach children from a young age that television and movies are fictional, skewed depictions of reality. Children imitate what they see, so if they see children react poorly to a divorce they will respond in the same manner. It then becomes the parent's responsibility to intervene and give their children the tools and venue to appropriately understand and discuss what they've seen on television.

Throughout July divorce professionals concerned about the effects of divorce on children will be sharing their advice and insights on the topic. Their goal is to educate parents about the choices they do have before moving into divorce to prevent negative consequences for children of all ages.

?????By Rosalind Sedacca, CCT Imagine going through your divorce with billions of people around the world following your every move. That’s the reality Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger faced as they explored the options for their family after divorce. For the Child-Centered Divorce community, this very public marital crisis reminds us of a crucial point. Fame, money and power in no way shield a family from the hurt, fears and insecurities that come with a pending separation or divorce. Our focus moves to the children and how they can best be helped to survive and ultimately thrive after a marriage is dissolved. In the Schwarzenegger family, those children were teens. Often divorcing parents put all their attention on helping their younger children cope while assuming their teenager will understand and adapt. Unfortunately studies have shown that in many cases teens will deal with divorce in more self-destructive and dangerous ways
