[quote=Anonymous]I think you handled it ok in the moment. That said, 10 year olds understand and pick up a lot more than they let on. And to PP who thinks your 10 yo doesn't know what divorce means, you are delusional. Does your kid have no friends/classmates whose parents are divorced? I doubt it. Similarly, avoiding "adult topics" is a huge disservice. Your kid can read, they hear things at home, at school. At this age, they're not great at interpreting things. Left to their own devices, they will blame themselves. All this to say OP, the only thing I'd add is to thank your 10yo for coming to you with their worries and tell them you will answer their questions as best you can.[/quote]
