One of the most comforting things you can do for your children when adjusting to divorce is to maintain a solid and predictable routine in their lives.
Obviously with a divorce much of 'normal life' has been blown apart and so the sooner you are able to establish a feeling of everyday normality in the household the better.
Routines will assist you in achieving this.
Life after divorce is full of uncertainty for everyone involved including the children.
It may cause them to worry and feel less safe, after all, most children depend a great deal upon their family unit to anchor their lives and now it's breaking apart.
Aside from purely emotional support make sure you continue or re-establish form, order, normality and routine.
This doesn't mean running your household like an army barracks with strict schedules but rather you should strive to be consistent in your communication and that your children are able to reliably predict what to expect from home and of you as a parent.
Older children will also benefit enormously from this approach.
Kids of all ages feel more confident and secure when they feel a degree of consistency at home.
In other words, they know what to expect.
This can stretch from the time you have dinner each night to when you go to bed or who does what at breakfast time.
You don't need a lot of established routines, just a few central ones will do and it will go a long way to proving that just because a relationship is broken between Mom and Dad, it's not going to mean more uncertainty at home.
