How to make divorce less traumatic for your kids
Make a plan and talk to your kids with your former spouse, if possible.
Do your best to have a civil conversation with your former spouse about informing your child. Decide what you'll say, and schedule a time (sooner rather than later) to break the news together.

OPTIONS:
- Try to give as little details as possible. These conversations may make your ex-spouse uncomfortable, but they also offer detailed information that might have been lost during the divorce.
- Sometimes, being in the presence of your former spouse can be confusing for your children. Even worse, having them witness your conversation may be upsetting to them or their child.
- Ultimately, talking with your children will give you both a chance to work through the final details without blowing things out of proportion. Create a birthing plan for your children.
- Informing your child with your former spouse can show that you both love your child and will be there to support them. Make an agreement with each other to keep your emotions in check and to avoid blaming each other when you discuss the divorce with your child.

How to stay fit in middle school
Get moving.
Doctors advise that middle schoolers get at least an hour of physical activity every day: that's 60 minutes of moderate aerobic activity like walking or intense activity like running. Regular exercise will give you stronger bones and better skin, help you keep a stable weight, and give you mental and mood boosts.

OPTIONS:
- Using low-impact exercise throughout the day can keep your body healthy and help you stay fit. Cross physical activity out of your schedule and towards your goals.
- Do things you enjoy! Exercise doesn't have to be a chore. Do you like to rollerblade, play basketball, dance, or ride your bike? These are all great-and fun-physical activities.
- Aim for 150 minutes of exercise every week, or 150 minutes of vigorous exercise every week. Try to walk rather than jogging, and choose " low-impact " activities like tennis, cycling, and biking.
- Encourage your gym friends to join you in your morning classes. This will give them something to see outside of the classroom.
