"You Better Sit Down Kids'" is a major hit single release by American singer/actress Cher in 1967 from her fourth studio album With Love, Chér, released on November 1967 by Imperial Records. The song was written by her then-husband Sonny Bono. Sung from a father perspective, the lyrics tell the story of a divorce. The song is featured on the compilation albums Cher's Golden Greats (1968), Superpack Vol. 1 (1972) and Gold (2005).

The song was well received by music critics. It also reached number nine on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Cher's second top ten single after "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)", and number twelve in Canada. "You Better Sit Down Kids" was covered by Roy Drusky, Liza Minnelli, Glen Campbell and Bono himself on All I Ever Need Is You (1971).

The year of 1967 was full for Sonny & Cher. They released their third studio album In Case You're In Love in March which yielded the U.S. top ten single "The Beat Goes On" and the U.K. top five single "Little Man". In April, they promoted the musical comedy Good Times along with its soundtrack. Both of them were commercial failures. During the fall of year, they also released the compilation albums The Best of Sonny & Chér and Sonny & Cher's Greatest Hits. In November 1967, "You Better Sit Down Kids" was released as a single alongside With Love, Chér. Cher later recorded an Italian version of the song titled "Bambini Miei Cari (Sedetevi Attorno)".
