How Divorce Really Affects Children's Mental Health — A Psychiatrist Explains

Most parents going through a divorce ask the same question:
Am I hurting my child?

In this episode of The Glamorous Grind, board-certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist
Dr. Peter Kass joins law specialists Mila Arutunian and Ilona Antonyan to answer the questions divorcing parents are afraid to ask.

What you'll learn:

• Why do children always blame themselves when parents fight
• The "traffic light" warning signs your child is struggling
• How to tell your kids you're separating (and what NOT to say)
• When to introduce a new partner — and how to do it safely
• Should you tell your kids about infidelity? A psychiatrist answers
• What "emotionally safe parenting" actually looks like
• Why is no-contact with a parent almost always harmful
• How badmouthing the other parent damages your child's self-image
• Why staying together "for the kids" may be more harmful than divorcing
