Guide children through change

Life takes many twists, but major life changes such as divorce, separation, loss and moving can take a tremendous emotional toll on children. Nobody can predict how a child will react, but parents can keep ahead of the curve by maintaining a close eye on their child's behavior.

• Check to see if there are:
• Changes in sleep patterns or eating habits
• Reluctance to go to school or to show school work
• Changes in social habits, including fear of staying alone or becoming more clingy

Listening to your child and addressing issues are among the best things you can do as a parent. Also, try to provide a variety of outlets for your child's expression through regular activities, playdates, and visits with favorite relatives and friends.
