I really appreciate the vote of confidence. I'm going to add you to my blogroll for the parents who are seeking some resources as they struggle through one of life's most difficult and disappointing transitions. I agree that taking the time to think long range ("what will the kids think/say in the future about what is going on now?") is critical. It is not easy or convenient, but it is so important. Again, thanks for contributing to the discussion and making your resources available. Cat Rosalind,

The key, regardless of your personal situation, is to come from a place of putting your children's best interest first when making all post-divorce decisions. Ask yourself, what will my children say to me when they are grown adults about the way I handled my divorce and post-divorce parenting? The consequences of all your decisions will affect your children not only in the months ahead, but for decades to come.

I did check out your website and the bear idea seems fantastic. I was thinking how much I would have loved that for my children. I may still get one for my youngest. I wonder about her losing it over at dad's and then having that become traumatic. What do you think? Thanks again for contributing to the discussion. As I was looking through your website, I was reminded that it isn't just young children of divorce who struggle with confusing feelings and sadness as the result of divorce. I struggled with these feelings as an adult when I found out about my parent's divorce, which happened before I was born. A different set of reasons for feeling that way than most, but make no mistake...divorce is just tough on kids and families. I'm adding your site to my blogroll. I'll also let families I deal with know. Thanks! Cat Heather,

We've incorporated Parent Tips from the state mandated course (SMILE) for divorcing parents... Parents, remember to set aside your "hurt feelings", do not speak ill of your ex in front of your kids, and allow your child to love and visit with both parents equally. (Unless, of course, there is a danger to the child). Great comments….please take a look at my web-site:
