When a couple makes the decision to get a divorce, this can have a negative
impact on the children as well. I have attached a video of a young girl who's parents divorced and the negative effects it has had on her life. Parents should remember to keep the lines of communication open and encourage
the children to express their feelings. Regardless of age, kids also need to
know that both parents still love them and that they will be there to take care
of them.
Children benefit to the greatest when the in-between parent relationship is generally supportive and cooperative.

This is so true. Children are at more of a risk of getting into trouble due to the fact that there arent two parents taking care of them. From personal experience, one parent raising three kids is not enough to keep tabs on every one of the children
ReplyDeleteI thought this was a very interesting video. I cant imagine what it must be like for some children to experience the divorce of their parents. I agree with you that children need to be constantly reminded that the divorce is not their fault and that both parents still love them no matter what. I also believe a divorce should be as less stressful on the child as possible. Children often get caught between, having to go from home to home but it is important to keep the child in one area and feeling like not eerything around them has to change due to the divorce. No matter the occuring of a divorce; a child should feel like they can still relay on both of their parents, to all have a healthy relationship.
ReplyDeleteChildren you go through divorce do have a troublesome life. But there are ways to work around the difficulties if you look for them. You must do what you need to to make yourself happy in the time of depression caused by parental disagreement. Children shouldn't let their parents ruin who they are. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and as long as they stick it out to the end they will find the happiness they deserve.
ReplyDeleteI think it all depends on the parents and the child. Of course having a lack of communication adn understanding will not benefit anyone. But I am a product of a divorce and my family has never been stronger. I think for me the divorce was a good thing because we have grownb so much stronger. But for someone such as the child in the video it is obvious that the circumstances of herf parents divorce was devestating . When divorce becomes a option it is the job of the parents to reassure the child that it is not their fault and try to keep things as normal as possible for the benefit of the child.
