Description

Dr Suzanne Wigginton wrote her PhD on children’s experience of separation and divorce. She shares what she’s learned from this study as well as insights from her long career - as a psychologist, a mediator and also her work in child inclusive mediation.

So much was discussed:
  • How to support our children during separation
  • 4 phases of adjustment
  • How separation and divorce is a grief process for children, as well as parents
  • Children’s grief is very different from their parents: play is crucial
  • How grief can be mistaken for bad behaviour
  • Dilemmas children face that adults don’t
  • How those outside the family can support children
  • Once again, why it’s so important that parent’s take care of themselves during separation.
