Superstars and big name celebrities many times fail to get relationships right, but that does not mean there are not lessons to be learned from Hollywood. For example, the divorce of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes shows how important it is to agree on core values such as religion. Another frequent issue that arises in not only celebrity divorce, but can also appear in an everyday divorce is that of how to tell the kids their parents are splitting. Often times when a famous couple calls it quits an announcement is made along the lines of “remaining devoted to co-parenting” and efforts are made to get along for the sake of the children.
One star has recently taken this promise to heart, and vows to raise her kids “right”. Actress Drew Barrymore has had anything but a traditional upbringing, and sometimes this has landed her in the hot seat for less than appropriate behavior. But her divorce from husband Will Kopelman has opened the eyes of the ever evolving actress and from that case we can take these three child rearing tips:
• Happiness is the key; a happy parent leads to a happy child.
• Consistent behavior is a must, without a schedule or some form of consistent expectations kid can easily become confused. We all like to know what is coming next, and when a child’s world is changed by divorce it is beneficial to keep as many things the same as possible.
• Protecting your kids by showing them their parents remain dedicated to their well-being is important. When children feel they matter and have a voice in the family, their sense of security is increased.
