CHILDRENS REACTION TO DIVORCE &SEPARATION
Do you wonder sometimes what effect a divorce or separation has on a child? Like adults, children react in different ways to separation or divorce. How they react often depends on the child’s age, temperament and the level of cooperation or conflict between the parents.
It has been observed that for children up to 5 years old, family breakdown can be difficult to understand. Older children can also experience a time of confusion and uncertainty even though they are more able to understand what is happening.This is not for every child that falls in that age group though , but just a generality.
The way parents or other family members react and adjust to the separation makes a big difference to how children feel. It is a situation that although can be proven very traumatic can be made less so with a little application of attention,and care.
If children are supported and encouraged to maintain a positive relationship with both parents, grandparents and other relatives, they are more likely to adapt to the changes. It is a stressful time for children, but most recover and lead normal lives. Children from separated families can develop and flourish just as well as other children, especially if they continue to have supportive and caring relationships with parents and other significant people in their lives, like grandparents, and other relatives.
A big mistake that a lot of people make is in spite of the fighting and constant rifts between them and their spouse,is staying together for the sake of the kids....major blunder.Some situations are simply irreconcilable, and the best thing for all concerned is to simply go separate ways.It's better for the kids and for the parents.As a matter of fact the longer a child is allowed to be exposed to this kind of situation of constant fighting and domestic violence the more a even more serious condition develops and grow into that child, and can lead to very destructive behavior later on in life.

HEY IF BRAD CAN DO IT...IT MUST BE DOABLE...YEAH......RIGHT
| Hey guys, no fair , don't forget he has a few more dollars than i do..."but what has that got to do with it" you ask, well, he shows up in public with the kid and everybody swoons.."hey isn't he sweet"... he goes and buys his baby things ; and everyone's like .. "hey look everyone, Brad Pitt is such a good dad"...so he is a swell guy OK..but as soon as he is out of site and gets home , there are a barrage of nannys and butlers at his beck and call ...so he doesn't have to sweat, he simply hands over the kid until his next public appearance.OK let me get off Brads case he is one off my favorite stars. My friend made a comment the other day,haranguing me about how Michael and all them guys, not the least bit scared to venture in a store to get baby things.WOW.. when the heck did I get to be in the category of Micheal (god rest his soul) and them guys any way...? I am your ordinary Joe Blow, I'm not primping for the next photo opt. I just wanna be home watching the Pistons kick some ass.If i was suppose to be out shopping and styling in stores buying baby things ; and stuff Joe Jackson would be my dad.what do you think? Hey.. dont get the wrong idea now ... don't think for one minute that me and junior be home all the time drinking beer eating corn chips and burping..far from it..why just the other day we had a blast at the beach...got a tan and everything. He even got lucky showing off some baby swim things I had bought him.....yeah he landed him a little cutie. They made quite the pair running around , sharing their baby stuff and harassing the good beach folks.So you see..we know how to live it up..we might not be Michael or Brad..but , we can do this. |
