Divorce changes life at home, but children carry those changes with them to school, too.

Teachers, counselors, and school staff can be an important part of your child’s support system during and after divorce. Knowing how to communicate with the school while keeping your child’s needs at the center can make a meaningful difference.

In this blog, we share the Three Be Method for helping children navigate divorce during the school year:

Be Honest — Keep teachers and school staff appropriately informed about changes at home.

Be Creative — Find a school communication approach that works for your family and co-parenting situation.

Be Involved — Stay connected with your child’s teachers, counselors, activities, and school community.

No matter what your co-parenting relationship looks like, the goal is the same: creating stability, support, and consistency for your child.
