Episode Summary: 

We explore how to handle tough questions from your children about separation, divorce, or your past relationship in ways that are honest, developmentally appropriate, and emotionally supportive.

Key Points

• Validate their question first with phrases 
• Gently assess why they might be asking 
• Keep responses child-focused
• Respond directly to the underlying concern (like fear of losing your love)
