I want to help young primary pupils with their warring parents | The Sun

DEAR DEIDRE: WORKING as a primary school teacher, I regularly witness the damaging effect warring parents have on their children.

I’m a woman of 51. You can often sense when a child’s parents are fighting because they often become withdrawn or disruptive.

This affects everything from their learning to their friendships.

It’s so sad to see. Do you have any resources I can give to parents to help them?

DEIDRE SAYS: Unfortunately, so many couples are so blindsided by their complaints with their partner, they lose sight of their children’s needs.

But parents can sep­ar­ate respectfully, if they can agree to put their differ­ences aside when making childcare decisions and truly bear in mind what is best for their child.
