Numerous research studies have concluded that children of divorce are more prone to several physical, emotional, and social externalities. The effects of divorce on children range from poorer academic performance to difficulty retaining relationships with their peers.
A divorce study of over 10,000 children and parents claims “quality relationships between parents and children are the greatest antidote to negative consequences surrounding divorce.”
In the midst of a divorce, many people neglect their parenting efforts. It is important to safeguard your children during this difficult patch of time. When possible, help maintain the children’s normal course of life. Adjusting living situations and schedules are better done gradually rather than abruptly. When making important decisions regarding your children, it is important to think of the possible benefits/outcomes of the situation. Divorce is a major life change for all children. Prioritizing your children’s social and active life can help relieve the emotional load that comes with divorce.
