It’s an unfortunate fact of modern life. Couples with kids split up all the time. It’s likely to be painful for both adults involved – and it can be even tougher on little ones.

“Many children have dealt with separation, so remember it is something they can and will overcome,” says clinical child psychologist Dr Anna Cohen of Kids & Co.
