PBS Kids GO! It's My Life
IML Quick Discussion Guide: Dealing With Divorce

Prior to using this Quick Discussion Guide, you and your child may want to do any or all of the following activities on "It's My Life":

  • Read the "Dealing with Divorce" article

  • Take the "Dealing with Divorce" Quiz

  • Print out the IML Journal page "Divorce". Complete it together or encourage your child to complete it on his/her own.

Discussion Questions:

  • What kinds of questions do you have about marriage or divorce?

If you are divorced:

  • I know a lot of kids blame themselves for their parents' divorce. Divorce is between adults and not between kids. Have you ever felt like our divorce was your fault?
  • No divorce situation is great, but how are things going right now? Is there any way that we can make it easier on you? What about during the holidays?
  • How do you think your life is the same or different from kids whose parents are NOT divorced?

If you are NOT divorced:

  • Do you worry about us divorcing? Why or why not?
  • How do you think your life is the same or different from kids whose parents are divorced?
