After a divorce, parents often seek mediation to work out the details of their new life together, with the interests of their children always front in their minds.
As you can expect, children are worried about the future as a result of the changes occurring in their household.
While their parents are in mediation, children who participate in “Child Inclusive Mediation” can express their feelings and offer their perspectives without having to make decisions or choose sides.
We recognise that in this time of change, children value the opportunity to voice their concerns and provide input on future plans.
Your mediator will discuss ways in which your children can be involved and, if you and your ex-spouse agree, will schedule separate meetings with your children.
Most of the time, these conferences are held in a neutral location, such an office or a school after hours, and they are scheduled at a time that is convenient for all parties involved.
Your mediator will have a conversation with your children about the issues you both believe are important to discuss, such as the impact of a potential sale of the family home.
How do you think your children will react to the fact that you’re no longer together?
When children are included in the mediation process, they have a voice. This is especially helpful because their worries won’t always be the same as yours.
Meetings with children are private, so they can control how their thoughts and feelings are communicated to their parents.
When children were given a voice in the mediation process, their parents worked together to make their goals a reality.

From Lakes Mediation St Helens Clients
At Lakes Family MediationSt Helens, we understand the importance of creating a nurturing environment for children during holidays.
Child holidays provide an opportunity for kids to experience joy, learn about traditions, and create lasting memories. From National Youth Day to Children’s Health Day, these special occasions offer a chance for families to come together and celebrate.
To make child holidays even more delightful, consider incorporating fun activities such as themed crafts, games, and outings. It’s important to prioritize child custody arrangements during holidays, ensuring that both parents have quality time with their children.
By embracing the spirit of togetherness and creating cherished traditions, child holidays can become a source of happiness and connection for the whole family.
