Please, please, do not bring your child to court. It serves absolutely no purpose. If we think a parent is going to be found in contempt and be sent to jail, we insist that children be removed from the courtroom, even if we have to have someone take them to the snack bar for an ice-cream cone. But this is wrong. Insisting that they do is nothing but revenge, and it wreaks havoc on the kids.
Many parents seem to assume their children are deaf and mute.
They discuss their anger and frustration with friends or family members, detailing the partner's every sin, while the kids are in the next room. That is the child's parent who is being discussed in the next room. And the kids are harmed by what they hear and observe. And I don't want to know about the problems. I just want to have a mother and a father.
