Age-by-Age Guide to What Children Understand About Divorce

Kids older than 11 probably understand just about everything about what’s going on, and likely know a whole lot more than you even appreciate. The best thing you can do for them is make sure they have a relationship with a counselor or other trained person who can be a “sounding board” for them as they work through their emotions surrounding the divorce process.
