A Comprehensive Guide to Discussing Divorce with Your Kids

Heidi will guide you

through this moment and the challenges that follow with

expertise, experience and empathy.

You’re here because you’re grappling with a reality you never wanted to face.

Your marriage is ending.

The mere thought leaves your stomach in knots, but what about your kids?

Imagine their eyes looking up at you, seeking stability in a world that’s about to change dramatically.
Do you know what you're going to say?
No parent wants to see the light in their child’s eyes dim. But it can happen, in one poorly handled conversation.

Your words in that moment carry a weight that will shape your child's future—either burdening them with confusion and insecurity or uplifting them with understanding and love.

I know because I've been where you are—twice.

First, as a child left adrift when my parents divorced. And then again as a parent, battling through a high-conflict divorce, struggling to find the right words to explain to my children why mommy and daddy wouldn't be living together anymore.

Heidi will guide you through this moment and the challenges that follow with expertise, experience and empathy.

SUCCESS STORIES

Shannon Beshara

GENERAL MANAGER - SCHOOL ROCK CALGARY

I have worked for Bryan for almost 3 years, and he has helped me grow as a first-time manager significantly. Having his guidance to learn to weigh important decisions, gather all required information, speak plainly but kindly, and confidently work with our team to develop the School Of Rock Calgary community has been invaluable.

He listens and encourages people to come up with solutions to issues, trusting their gut and their expertise. I have definitely grown more confident and sure of my own abilities to listen, learn, and lead, thanks to his help! His encouragement toward a growth mindset has energized me and our team to grow the school and our programs to all-time highs. The energy in the school is exciting, and customers love to be a part of what we have built here. I am so happy to be a part of it myself!

Paula Carvalho

OWNER, SCHOOL OF ROCK - MISSISSAUGA TERRITORY

Bryan travelled from Calgary to train our staff as we prepare to open our School of Rock Streetsville. He sent us pre-training material and shared his school information. He spent two days with us meeting with the team and presenting a clear and organized overview of our teaching method and programs. Bryan enjoyed speaking with our music instructors and he answered their questions in detail. He continues to meet with our managers to provide ongoing support and help. Bryan is a true professional genuinely focused on the success of our team. He is a dynamic, interesting speaker and enthusiastic presenter. I value all I’ve learned with Bryan and the way in which he has continued to follow up. With confidence, I highly recommend his training, coaching and mentoring services.

Fiona Balaton

Bryan and his team at School of Rock Calgary deliver a top notch music program that has exceeded my expectations in so many ways. I thoroughly enjoy being part of the School of Rock Calgary community.
