I have a two year old and a four year old. They are emotionally upset because of the seperation. They do not understand divorce. It shows up in their play and their actions around the house. Their behaviour, especially my son's is verbally apparent. My daughter just cries when I say goodnight, then she asks for he daddy to come home. How do I help them to know that its ok to be sad, but it's not ok to be mean and out of control?
