Divorce Care
Many parents are now realizing the benefits of treatment for these problems.
Help for these problems is readily available.
There are many factors that predict your child's adjustment to divorce.
Your child's age, sex, temperament, enviromental changes, and parental stability all have great influence on adjustment.
One very important factor in adjustment is the presence of parental conflict.
The greater the conflict and the longer it lasts, the greater the toll on the child.
Many studies have shown that children who witness intense hostility or who are caught in loyalty binds are at high risk for future emotional and behavioral consequences.
Parents have a very powerful influence on their children and can significantly impact the child's long term adjustment to divorce.
Parents can learn to shield their children from parental conflict, increase parental stability, and structure the child's enviroment which spares the child from undo emotional pain.
Unfortunately some parents, because of their own pain, loose sight of the impact of their behaviors on the children.
Now parents have somewhere to turn for answers.
