Back-to-School

Back-to-School; The Return of Blogging Season

The end of summer, not officially of course, is here; the kids are in school, and our favorite TV shows will be reappearing. This also marks the beginning of another season of blogging about being a Dad that spends a good deal of his time taking care of his children.

This season is about divorce and how to handle the many areas of concern when little ones are involved. Divorce is like having a death in the family, there is a deep sense of emotional loss for everyone concerned. I have recently gone through a divorce, and this is first hand experience, not expert knowledge. If you are looking for expert advice, find a great therapist. In the Tampa Bay area, Harmony Us is one of the best. Outside of Tampa and Florida, I suggest going to PsychologyToday  to find an expert in your area. You can also check with your health insurance to see which provider can best suit your needs. An easy search for therapists begins with location and whether or not they take children or handle divorce.

There are many stages of divorce and a great deal happens prior to the judge signing off on the stack of papers declaring the marriage over. In the coming weeks, I will be focusing on those stages that the parents, as well as the children, encounter during a typical day. I will also try to keep each post relevant for readers not going through divorce, because there are parenting strategies used that help everyone, regardless of their situation. Again, I am not an expert. Writing this blog reinforces my knowledge about the situation I am in, and it helps me further my research into other parenting techniques I was not aware of.
