  • There is much controversy about how divorce affects children. Many studies show that, to a child, divorce is equivalent to the pain of the death of the parent. There is a great loss, with grief and sadness, and confusion for the children. Children most always believe that they are the cause of the divorce. They think that the parent who left, actually left them or left because of them and that the parent doesn't love them anymore. Often the parents are so consumed in their own grief or turmoil that they fail to see the devastating effects of the breakup on the children.
  • Divorce affects children adversely in many ways. Children of divorce have more difficulty in school, more behavior problems, they often have low self esteem and think they are worthless and bad, more problems with peers and more trouble getting along with their parents.
  • Divorce can adversely affect a child, from their behavior, school, employment, relationships, and future marriage.

  • Studies regarding teenage and adult females, parental divorce has been associated with lower self esteem, promiscuity and greater delinquent behaviors, as well as, difficulty maintaining long-term relationships. Girls experience the emotional loss of the father directly and personally. They believe it is a direct rejection of them. Many girls attribute this rejection to not being pretty enough, affectionate enough, athletic enough, smart enough, etc.

  • When a parent elects to use physical punishment, such as spanking, it does not teach the child how to change his behavior. Children can also react aggressively to physical punishment. When parents chooses alternate forms of punishment, such as time-outs, they are helping modify the child's bad behavior in a calm manner.
  • f arguing among parents is done fairly and with maturity, a child can actually benefit from seeing how conflicts are resolved

  • Depressed pregnant women may be less likely to get prenatal care

  • Parental drug misuse can have an effect on the development of the foetus and long-term consequences for children. Some effects may be physical, but the most important ones will be on the developing mind and brain of the child. These effects may not be visible, and, in some cases, the impact on the child´s development and behaviour may not manifest for some years.
  • The effects on the unborn child include: chromosomal abnormalities; structural malformations (e.g. cleft palate); intrauterine growth retardation; functional impairment (e.g. deafness); behavioural abnormalities (e.g. hyperactivity); and learning difficulties.
  • a high proportion of newborn babies, especially those whose mother used heroin, will suffer withdrawal symptoms which may last up to several months and which will include tremors, high muscle tone, irritability, diarrhoea, vomiting and abnormal feeding and sleep patterns.

  • Society's cavalier attitude towards marriage and divorce is not a positive phenomenon and has perpetuated a cycle of failed marriages and a lengthy list of associated social problems detrimental to children and to adults
  • nto the divorce culture, notions of same-sex marriage, or any form of contemporary sexual liberation. We must regenerate a culture that understand the significance of marriage and in so doing give our children back their lives and their most basic human right — their mother and father bound together in a faithful marriage covenant.
  • “Divorce can be deceptive — legally it is a single event but psychologically it is a chain, sometimes a never ending chain, of events, relocations and radically shifting relationships strung through time, a process that forever changes the lives of people involved
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • “A culture of divorce soothes children with antidepressants, consoles them with storybooks on divorce and watches over their lives from family court.”
  • “It does not take a village to raise a child. It takes loving, responsible parents, two of them, together for the duration.”
  • divorce negatively impacts husbands, wives and children
  • By almost every measure, children of divorce fare worse than their peers in intact families. The children of divorce are more likely to engage in behaviors that lead to higher rates of crime, drug use, child abuse, poor educational performance, higher incidence of behavioral, emotional, physical, and psychiatric problems. Such behavior set in motion a downward cycle of dysfunctional behavior and despair that compounds those problems for their own children and future generations of children. Because of divorce, increasing numbers of children live in economic insecurity and disadvantage, including fragile and unstable family households.
  • Mounting evidence in social science journals demonstrates that the devastating physical, emotional and financial effects that divorce has on children can last well into adulthood and affect future generations
  • The devastation children feel on the heels of their parents' divorce is similar to the way they feel when a parent suddenly dies
  • Divorce changes the very nature of childhood
  • Divorce can sever the crucial bond between a child and one or both of his or her parents. And tragically, divorce has brought about a mass exodus of fathers away from close association with their children.
  • The family comprises the scaffolding upon which children mount successive developmental stages, from infancy to adolescence. It supports their psychological, physical, and emotional ascent into maturity. When that structure collapses, the child is left impoverished, both economically and emotionally
  • research has shown that a child is better off if the parents resolve their differences and the family remains together, even if the long-term relationship is less than perfect
  • Maelani Parker on 09 Sep 12
     
    This family not only shows the negative results of divorce for children, but it also emphasizes the importance of the opposite. Marriage is shown to be fundamental for children. This fall sunder the categories of divorce and home environment and exposure.

  • Child abuse and even maternal depression, studies show, can do to people what neglectful rat mothers did to their pups: silence the stress-hormone receptor in the brain. In the brains of people who were abused as children and later took their own lives, the gene for the stress-hormone receptor is more likely to be “off” than it is in people who did not commit suicide or were not abused, found a 2009 study.
  • they found that mom’s high stress during the children’s infancy altered 139 genes, while dad’s stress during the children’s pre-school years altered 31 genes.
