'Over the years, parents have asked me how to approach their parenting post-separation best because sometimes, they unwittingly trample over their children’s rights after the divorce. Kids will get through your separation and divorce process if you let them. I mean that you have to be diligent about not exposing your child to ongoing conflict and turmoil. This Bill of Rights for Children of Divorced Parents is self-explanatory and gives you powerful parenting guidelines to help you navigate your co-parenting relationship. Lois V. Nightingale created it. Nightingale puts children’s rights after divorce first and foremost in her practice as a clinical psychologist and marriage, family and child counsellor. She has kindly allowed me to reprint it with her permission. I have made some additions over the years. So, here is the list of 30 rights of children from divorced parents; please listen in, share it with your kids, and share it with your ex and others that might find this information useful.
