Parents: How Do You Talk To Your Kids About Divorce?

NPR Ed is working on a special project about how parents can best explain divorce and separation to their kids, and we need your help.

If you have been through a split, or are in the middle of one now, we'd like to hear how you handled it, or are handling it, with your kids. We want to know what that very first conversation was like and whether it went according to plan. What kinds of questions are your children asking? Do you wish you'd done anything differently? Maybe you're still struggling to help them make sense of it all — we'd like to hear.

Send us your stories at npred@npr.org or fill out the form below. You may be contacted by a producer, and your responses may be used in an upcoming project.
