Effective Ways Of Connecting With Your Kids After Divorce Or Separation by Nobody: 10:34am On Sep 29, 2021
It is quite understandable that due to some factors whether logical or otherwise, many marriages fail to stand the test of time. Though, unlike before, the rate at which marriages get dissolved in recent time is steadily on the increase. A lot of theories have been advanced to explain this surge. However, the focus for today is on how separated parents could still be actively involved and present in the lives of their children.

On many occasions, it has occurred that parents get cut off from their kids for one reason or the other when the marriage is no longer viable. From physical distance to emotional distance, divorced parents sometimes find it quite difficult to keep a smooth flowing connection with their children.

In cases where custody is granted to one of the parent, it becomes a horrific task on the other parent to try and be involved and active in the life or the child or children as the case may be. So we see that the quest of Separated parents to reach out and be with their kids is not really and easy one.
Uncertainties about how to deal with children after calling off a union is much. Thus, parents are left to wonder what to do and even feel terrible for the way things went. Thus, this article is designed to serve as a guide to parents in this type of situation.

One key way of connecting with kids after separation is by maintaining a functional physical presence. Sadly, a number of parents become totally absent from their kids if the marriage fails. Frequently, a parent who is not in custody of the child or children completely alienates his or herself from the kids maybe due to having another family or due to the division of the home. In no time, there is going to be a breach in communication between such a parent and the children.

Thus, though the family is no longer together, parents who want to enjoy a good rapport with their kids and be able to create impact and have influence in the lives of their kids must make every effort to be physically present. There has to be regular and frequent physical meet ups and spending of quality time together.

Ensuring adequate provision of daily and material needs can help in fostering a cordial relationship between parents and kids even when the home is no longer together. Giving children the needed and necessary care will reassure them of being wanted and loved by the parents. They will understand that they have not become less important just because their parents are no longer together.
Having their needs promptly and adequately catered for takes away the chance for doubts and accusations of insensitivity.

Another great way to maintain a cordial relationship with kids is being willing to come together and cooperate with the each other when making major plans concerning their kids. This will communicate to a large extent to kids that they still ocupy a great position of priority. Children will most likely accept decisions and plans agreed upon by both parents and be willing to go through with such. So, if the wish is to keep close to your kids, you should not let some crucial decisions to be taken by only one parent.

Still on the measures to maintain an active and viable connection with kids after the home has been broken is maintaining a functional line of communication. To be involved, you need to know what is going on. Thus, the only way to keep updated with what is going on in your kid’s life is by frequently interacting.

Through these interactions, it will be easy to obtain necessary information and be able to act accordingly. Sometimes, kids may just need someone to talk to, if you are not constantly in touch, it iS very easy for there to be a lull in your flow and in your relationship with your kids.

It has often been said, that it is pointless crying over spilt milk. On the contrary, steps should be taken by the parents to ensure that their separation does not tell on the kids or bring up more harmful conditions. So, it is wise for parents to try all possible ways to remain relevant and welcomed in the life of their kids.

I see a great number of Nigerian men benefitting from this thread once the DNA lab in lekki kicks off their tests, I see lawyers and judges breaking down as a result of the magnitude of divorce cases they'll be subjected to listen and attend to on a daily basis, I see young single men vowing not to pay bride price for any girl who isn't a virgin, I see marriages becoming very scarce, I see baby Mamas becoming the most recognized option for men.

This I have seen.

After me and my ex got separated, she wanted to keep my child away from me, the stubborn lady won't even let me see her even though I pay the school fees etc. I tried everything possible but since she wouldn't listen I just went straight to family welfare and now we have equal custody.

Their ain’t no template to this thing, just be good and look out for the characters of the kind of woman, u want to have a child with or settle with, so has to know if she won’t be bitter if things later go sour between u guys, but at the end of the day just be good don’t slave yourself for anyone, when kids grow up they would know who the real problem is, no matter what there mother don put inside them

angry angry angry. Divorce is not registered in the book of God. Therefore, any advice or whatever for divorced couple is nonsensical. It says for better for worse, so if you feel for one reason or the other your marriage can't work, it would have been better to not be married at all. Divorced couple are annoying (I'm being nice here), and it show incapacitation (holistically) of involved persons. I will never trust a divorcee with anything.

Divorce is sometimes good. Buh in Philippines de don't divorce easily bcus it's a Roman Catholic country. You and your man can go ur separate ways, buh de can't grant u a divorce paper. Even if de do. De process is very very hectic.

Our mothers endured more than what these young women are enduring now, and they didn't leave our fathers.


Any little thing, I'm not marrying again. Nonsense
