A child needs a parent’s love and guidance
Children need to feel safe in exploring the world around them
When two parents separate
The child still looks to both for support and guidance
To feel safe
When parents dislike each other
The child feels their safety and love diminish
When one parent tries to keep the child from the other
The child suffers more than the parents
When parents cannot say kind words about each other
The child learns what hate is
The child no longer
Feels safe
Think of the child first in all your actions and interactions
Your decisions will have long lasting effect
In the child’s understanding of what love is
The Journey of a thousand miles
