In Bible Study this morning, my wife made the comment that Jesus was separated from God for three hours while he bore our sins. So, my 10 year-old daughter asks "I've been hearing that, how was Jesus separated from God?" I knew from her question that she was having trouble because she is aware of the Trinity and understands its implications, and I too have trouble with the wording, "Jesus was separated from God as he bore our sin" because it communicates that at some point the Trinity was not unified, even though I knew what my wife meant.
Sooooooooo, what are your suggestions for helping to answer this question without glazing her eyes over?
