The Impact of Divorce on Young Children and Adolescents

During the past few decades, divorce rates in the United States are rising sharply; this is a common problem in this society. Approximately 1 million children each year are divorced or are separating from their parents (Shinoda, Kevin Seiji, 2001, La Mirada, p. 9). According to the 2000 census data, about 28% of divorced or divorced parents have at least 1 child under the age of 6 (Kim Leon Jul., 2003 pg. 258). Furthermore, more than half of the divorced children are under 18 years of age and about 40% of the children will be divorced or will have a separate parent's residence (Shinoda, Kevin Seiji, 2001, La Mirada, pg.

As divorce rates increase, parent divorce occurs more frequently when children are in adolescence and adolescence. Parental divorce may affect children in various ways.

Visiting parents may have a positive or negative impact on your child's divorce. If he or she does not notice the child and fights with the original spouse, the child will not enjoy the visit. Access must also be regular and predictable. In this way, children feel that they are spending time and energy for the parents they are visiting. Finally, parents who divorce should not understand through their children how their predecessors lived, what they do, or understand their predecessor's new partner There is none.

To avoid trauma from divorce with some children, some parents will postpone divorce until the children grow. Young adolescents have achieved some degree of autonomy and young people tend to participate more in groups of other peers in their peers but in that case their families and adolescents still depend on their families for spiritual and material support Holman, 1996). Some parents consciously decided to postpone separate divorce and divorce until this time. However, when divorce has a strong influence on the divorced parents' psychology, the internal resources of parents are often exhausted. What they can do is to satisfy their own needs, and it may be difficult to deal with adolescent emotional roller coasters (Holman, 1997). Among the "frightening two people", young people have been told that they have much in common with infants. This is a self-centered age
