I used AI to explain divorce to my 6-year-old — and it actually helped

My husband and I are separating and I had no idea how to talk to our daughter about it. I asked Claude to help me find age-appropriate language for a 6-year-old and to anticipate the questions she might ask. It gave me a script I could adapt, and when the moment came I felt prepared instead of terrified.

✦ WORKFLOW STEPS

1Described the situation and her age to Claude

2Asked for a simple script I could use

3Asked a follow-up for likely questions she might ask

4Practised the conversation out loud

5Had the conversation — she was sad but understood

📋 THE PROMPT

I need to explain to my 6-year-old daughter that her parents are separating. Please help me find the right words — simple, honest, reassuring, and age-appropriate. Also give me a list of questions she might ask and how I could answer them in a way that doesn't confuse or scare her. The separation is amicable.
