My daughter's teacher called us in for a conference to talk about our separation and we were floored. What a lesson. As much as I sometimes want to believe they are protected from what is going on I make myself stay honest and talk more openly with my kids. It's a strange good by-product of our divorce.

It is very hard to convince some parents of this fact. They think they are protecting their children. Some I report on play scenes in the housekeeping or block area to show them that their child is playing about the problems at home, not talking about them directly. This helps them understand and have a good conversation with their kids. As a teacher of 3 and 4 year olds I know that kids know when their parents are having trouble.
