As a therapist, I applaud the talk by Stu as he highlighted the importance of looking after children during the divorce. My own parents went through a horrible divorce and I was caught in the crossfire. If only they watched this Ted talk. It would have saved me from a lot of emotional pain.

As a collaborative divorce lawyer and mediator, this talk deeply resonated with me. Stu's heartfelt words about his son's broken heart moved me to tears. The importance of prioritizing family counselors over expensive lawyers struck a chord with the audience, and it is a message that truly needs to be heard.

[kristyallen]

Every divorce breaks a child's heart. No matter how difficult it is for parents at the time of the divorce, no matter what disagreements separate them, you need to find the strength to take into account the condition of the child.

Stuart Weintraub’s take on the impact of most divorces on children is insightful and full of great ideas! I wish I’d heard this before my own divorce many years ago. Well done, Stu!

[ElegantProsperity]

Brilliant message. Creating a conflict strategy when you are in love is how we can show our love to our children before they even arrive. Love this!

[gingerboyle]

This talk spoke to me, a collaborative divorce lawyer and mediator. I was moved to tears when Stu talked about his son's broken heart. The audience heard him when he repeated the idea that people spending more money on lawyers rather than family counselors had things backwards.

Love is a four-letter word, too. Powerful message! I hope so many people in so many capacities take this to heart. And to be clear, it doesn’t matter how old the “children” are. I was in my late twenties when my parents divorced. The slings and arrows between the warring factions cause irreparable damage and navigating family events is more often than not unnecessarily painful and exhausting.

[YBAngry]

I was fortunate enough to be there in person to see, hear, and FEEL Stu's talk. It was amazing!!! Blessings to your heart Stu!!!! If we can share this and get it to the world RIGHT NOW, we can make a difference in the lives of children

[emilyjfanning]

Having been a child with divorced parents, I appreciate this so much. I can only hope that this will spread through the country and world and have an impact!

[audreyjacobs]

As a divorced, single parent, this message was very powerful. I know you’re talk will help many families!

I consider myself incredibly lucky to have personally witnessed Stu's remarkable talk, experiencing not only the words but also the emotions it stirred within me. It was truly awe-inspiring! Sending heartfelt blessings to you, Stu! I believe that if we can immediately share this with the world, we can make a positive impact on the lives of children today!

[markgreenbaum]

When someone takes a role to address the role of adults in helping the masses of children caught as collateral damage it is profound. Stu was captivating engaging and articulate in the need.

[joannehein]

This is a heartfelt plea to put "love before law" for the sake of children. This 11 minute talk is rich with powerful analogies and strategies for healthy co-parenting. Stuart Weintraub has expressed a must-see video for newlyweds, parents, attorneys & mediators, clergy and counselors, and those of us who know families in the midst of separation and divorce.

[kimkeller]

Love your passion to change divorces with children at the forefront!

[xkrkpmp]

Stu. Your words and perspective really touched me. As one who experienced the trauma of divorce and the ensuing family chaos and pain, i know others who face divorce will be armed with your gifted message. Thank you. Billy

[learndaily]

Such a brilliant message! By developing a conflict strategy while being in love, we demonstrate our love and care for our future children even before they come into this world. It's a beautiful way to prepare for parenthood and ensure a nurturing environment for their growth and happiness. Love this idea!

[magellman]

Stu's talk was on the spot and so relevant. He speaks from the heart. Having my own experience raising a child in two households, his idea of having an agreement ahead of time on how to handle a split is genius and worth experimenting with to save our children from the harm caused from the worst of breakups.

[MichaelVondle-pkuq]

I have known Stuart for the past decade and have listened to his passionate beliefs regarding safeguarding the children of divorce and support him in his mission. Right on Stu

[dpostil]

This TEDx talk had an important message - kids don't belong in the middle of their parents' divorce fights. The speaker, Stu Weintraub, shared how over 1 million kids each year in America are hurt by their parents' divorce conflicts. Stu wants to give these kids a voice. His main idea is to get divorcing parents to focus on mediation instead of lawsuits in court. He wants parents to get help from clergy, counselors, and coaches instead of fighting. Stu used tools to help with his disability while giving the talk. He hopes his talk helps kids caught in divorce conflicts and reduces stigma about disabilities. Stu's talk was inspiring and spread waves of love. I'm glad I got to see it live at TEDxSanDiego.

This is great stuff. I hope many parents and families are able to watch and see this talk
