Protecting vs. preparing. What's your instinct when it comes to your kids?

If you're like me, your instinct is to try and protect your kids from all of life's hardships, especially when it comes to their parent's divorce.

They're grappling with two, homes, conflict between their parents, shuttling back and forth, missing those they love, confusion, feelings of responsibility for things they don't control...

Our kids face a lot. And we'd like to be able to protect them from all of it, but of course we know that isn't possible. But even if it was, would it actually be best for them?

That's what this episode is all about. This week at #10 on our Listener's Choice Countdown is episode 9 from August 16, 2022 where I talk about the challenges our kids face with divorce, what we can do about it and why protecting them is not always the best option.
