1. Share marital concerns with the child. 2. Spend less time with the child so he doesn't feel the tension between the parents. 3. Be sure the child understands the divorce is not the child's fault. 4. Allow the child to stay with only one parent until the divorce becomes final.

Rationale: 1. It is not appropriate for the parents to discuss marital concerns with the child. 2. The parents should spend more time with the child, not less, when experiencing a divorce. 3. Divorce is a common, stressful event for school-age children. While parents are engaged in their own stresses, they might benefit from help to plan for ways to lessen the strain on the children. They can make sure the child understands that the divorce is not the child's fault and is only related to the parents' relationship with each other. 4. Staying with only one parent will alienate the child from the opposite parent, and is not an appropriate instruction. |
