Divorce of parents through the eyes of a child

If you try to characterize this event in one word, then this word is STRESS, and for adults, and for younger family members. It is especially difficult for babies to explain why the two most loved people can not be together anymore. Despite all the efforts made, they are extremely difficult to part with their mother and father and continue to believe that they will start living together again.

The end of life or the beginning of a new life?
Adults sometimes tend to underestimate the significance of their divorce for the baby, to whom it seems that the world is collapsing. In his own way, he is right: after all, for children (especially small children) the world is so far confined to their family, whose cohesion gives confidence and allows one to maintain peace of mind.

Separation of parents for most children is the deepest shock. The first few weeks are especially painful. Many toddlers begin to have health problems, studies, relationships with friends, apathy or aggressiveness appear in behavior.

Before talking with the child, parents should discuss their behavior, try to minimize the changes in the life of a small person.
With the right choice of tactics, divorce can turn into a constructive decision and become a new stage in the life of all family members. Sometimes children feel relief from the knowledge that finally quarrels and scandals will stop. After all, the natural sensitivity of kids makes them completely unprotected from the tense atmosphere around them.
