It’s important to remember that just as you’re emotionally vulnerable when dating, so are your children. It could be that they have emotional issues that create barriers to protect themselves from any further pain. You and the person you’re dating should tread carefully in order to minimize the potential hurt they could experience. Take it slow. New relationships can be exciting and the urge to share your new love with the people you love most (your kids) is strong. The problem is that once you begin to form emotional attachments, your kids will too. You want to avoid bringing your children into the mix too soon. When you do feel it’s time to introduce your new partner to the kids, you want to make a few dates for them to get to know one another.
