Children & Divorce: The Different Age Stages:

How your children adjust is directly related to how you as the parent are adjusting to the divorce. Nevertheless, the way the family operates can be quite different according to the age, gender, and number of children in the family. Many of the children will react differently according to the support they get from their parents, how much tension there is in the family structure, and how the visitation is affecting the children. The age at onset of the divorce can also be a factor when dealing with how the children will react to divorce. At different ages, children react differently :

Birth to 18 Months (Infancy)
18 Months/ 3 Years (Toddlers)
3/5 years (Preschoolers)
6/11 (Elementary School Years)
11/18 Years (Early-Late Adolescence)

Outcomes of Divorce

Children may choose to not get involved at all, or they may get to the point that they are overly involved with the separation of their parents. It is very common for an adolescent to side with one the parent and at the same time try to terminate the relationship with the other. The parents need to find some sort of balance between themselves and their children. The parents should discuss with their children how they want the living arrangements to be and from there they should also discuss how they want to handle visitation. Openness in the relationship is very important if any child is to grow up an emotionally stable individual.
