The day is inevitably going to come when Tiger Woods two children are going to be old enough to want to know what happened between their mom and dad and why they chose to live apart. It’s a difficult subject that many parents have to face in this day and age, and it’s one that both parents should tackle together, according to Dr. Charles Sophy, a child psychiatrist who has treated many celebrity families as well as regularly appearing on VH1’s hit show, Celebrity Rehab. Sophy also urges Elin to not let her personal feelings get in the way of her children’s relationship with their father, and to be sure to maintain his presence in their lives.

In an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com Dr. Sophy gives some specific advise to Elin Nordegren on how to deal with the issue when it arises in the future, and also advises the beautiful mom on why she should keep Tiger in the lives of their two children no matter what may end up happening to her troubled marriage.

EXCLUSIVE: Tiger Woods Wife Wont Move Back In With Him

"I think Elin's biggest challenge will be explaining to her daughter what daddy did and I think it shouldn't be Elin explaining what daddy did, it should be daddy and mommy having a fair, age appropiate discussion with their daughter at the right time. I would tell them less is more, the less you tell her, the more will illicit questions from her that you can answer.

"The worst thing Elin could do is take the children from their father because at the end of the day that is their father, they will love their father despite what their father did to their mother,"

Dr. Sophy goes on to tell RadarOnline.com that another terrible thing that could happen to their two children, Sam and Charlie, is for them to become pawns between their parents.

As RadarOnline.com exclusively reported Elin is currently renting a home that is a mile away from Tiger’s. Despite Tiger’s pleading Elin has refused to move back in with her cheating husband, while she takes time to decide on their future together and on if she believes their marriage can be saved.

Dr. Sophy's new book Side by Side, The Revolutionary Mother-Daughter Program for Conflict-Free Communication, was released on February 2, 2010.



What puzzles the most in this story is that the only woman who truly loved him and trusted him was Elin and he publicly humiliated her an betrayed her. What a jerk !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now their relationship is even stronger than before! They go everywhere together and not even part one day. Well, Elin, use their example and maybe your marriage will survive too and even stronger! Good luck to you and Tiger!

Hmm, sounds like almost every therapist/psychiatrist has all said Elin should stay marry to Tiger for the kids! Well, Posh almost divorced Beckham when she found out about his long-term affairs, but decided to stay.

She's not the one who ruined the marriage. He travels for work and spends his time banging 15+ women. Where is his commitment and time with his family? How did he make time with all his extracurriculars. This guy is a moron.

The kids are used to him being gone and Elin being their primary caregiver. They are young enough to adapt to what ever happens with their living arrangements and will do just fine without him.

The kids would be happier living in a loving and happy family which in this case it is not, Tiger will keep straying any chance he gets. She is better off without him.

She can live happily every after WITHOUT him and while her children maintain contact. Just because they need their father's presence doesn't mean she does.
