My ex-husband has recently started taking estrogen on his way to transitioning to being a woman. We have four children. When is an appropriate time to talk to children about the changes?

That depends on the age of the children. It will be some time, perhaps as long as 6 months to a year before there are any visible signs of the transition. I would not say anything until the children begin to ask for answers. Then I would tell them an age appropriate amount of information. Keep in mind that children under 5 take the news almost without comment while older children will ask some questions that should be answered honestly and in a matter of fact way.
