Divorce is often traumatic and scary for adults. From a child’s perspective, it is magnified exponentially. For young children this has to be devastating and concerning.
As we have learned over time, divorce affects every child, no matter their age; even those who are adults when their parents divorce (known as a gray divorce).
Many times people think: children can adapt, they will survive, it will be ok, without taking into consideration the real effects and intensity that a divorce may have on children. This is a time when they need even more attention and support. This is a wonderful article that highlights the concerns for children and how to try best to serve them during this traumatic time.
