kids are resilient. as long as you keep their homelife happy and secure...continue to give them the attention they need and deserve...affection and love and praise as usual. talk to them to relieve any stress and keep them out of any of your emotional turmoil associated with divorce or future relationships. peace

Assuming your kids are young, be sure to give them lots of love, lost of hugs and lots of understanding. Children many times believe the divorce is due to something they did. So, talk to them. Ask them what they think. Don't tell them how to think, ask them what and how they think. Follow their lead. One of the worst things parents do after a divorce is to use the kids as weapons against their ex spouse. Don't. If you and your ex don't get along, at least agree that the kids will be left out of your fights. Don't tell the kids your ex is a jerk. Don't tell the kids anything bad about your ex. Assume your ex loves the kids as much as you do. Talk with your ex about this and get an agreement to play it cool with the kids. If the kids, or any of them, are having troubles (grades in school suddenly changing, other strange behavior, fits of depression, bouts of unusual anger, etc) seriously consider therapy. Perhaps family therapy with you and the kids or the ex and the kids or even you and your ex plus the kids. Make the kids the number one priority. Good luck.

Divorce permanently effects kids but they will get through it.

patience, love and understanding. Talk to them but don't be pushy or judgmental. They will survive. good luck
