How to Tell Your Kids You’re Getting Divorced

10 am PST / 11 am MST / 12 pm CST / 1 pm EST

Do you get a pit in your stomach thinking about telling your kids you're getting divorced? 

It’s one of the hardest conversations you can imagine as a parent. 

And you want to get it right.

Worried You’ll Say the Wrong Thing? You’re Not Alone.

Telling your kids about your divorce is one of the hardest moments a parent faces.

And if you’re scared of getting it wrong… that’s because you care deeply about getting it right.

Maybe you’re worried you’ll:

💬 Say too much or not enough

😭 Break down in front of them

😳 Make them feel unsafe or responsible

🎯 Trigger blame, fear, or confusion

💥 Set off reactions you’re not prepared to handle

You’re afraid this conversation might shape their childhood.

And the truth is — it will. But it doesn’t have to shape it in the way you fear.

What your kids need most is your steadiness, clarity, and love.

And you can offer that — even if you’re hurting, even if you’re overwhelmed, even if you have no idea where to begin.

In this live 30-minute workshop, you’ll learn:

• What your kids actually need to hear (and what they don’t)

• How to explain the divorce without blaming, oversharing, or confusing them

• Simple phrases you can use to help your kids feel loved, safe, and not responsible

• How to respond when they cry, get angry, or say nothing at all

• How to support them in the days and weeks after the conversation

This workshop is for you if:

✅ You know divorce is happening (or likely happening), but you haven’t told the kids yet

✅ You and your spouse are not on the same page about what to say

✅ You’re terrified of “messing up” your kids

✅ You’re tempted to avoid the conversation or push it off as long as possible

✅ You want to handle this with as much love and honesty as possible—even if things are complicated

This is not about being a perfect parent.

It's about being a present, honest, loving one. ❤️

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have:

🧭 A simple framework for what to say and what not to say

💬 3–5 key phrases you can lean on when you feel overwhelmed

📝 A plan for how and when to have the conversation

🛠️ Tools to support your kids afterward, even if they react in unexpected ways

💪 More confidence that you can do this without breaking them—or yourself
