Use the family's preferred words without blame or promises about reconciliation, contact, or either parent's behaviour. Keep the child out of adult disputes and avoid assuming that every family arrangement is safe or the same.
Ask what practical question the character might have next. A caregiver can adapt the reading or stop if it does not fit the family's circumstances.
Use gentle, age-aware language and let the child set the pace.
