The Best Books About Children and Divorce

Children & Divorce: The Different Age Stages: 18 Months/ 3 Years (Toddlers): Individual Personality This is the age when children are starting to develop their own individual personalities. They realize that they are separate entities from their parents. At this age children are also very talkative, and they are very interested in environment exploration. Independence is being recognized. Tension in the Home At this age their main bond is with their parents. Change in the environment at this age can be very difficult for a child; they need predictability and a stable environment. Children want immediate needs met, even if there is tension at home. The child's world is centered around themselves, so they will not totally concern themselves with the tension that is going on in the home. Divorce at this age can be very difficult for the child, but it is possible for parents to overcome this difficult task if they work together. They need to develop a routine that the child can follow with little resistance. If the divorce occurs at this age, the parent must be aware that the child may feel responsible for the break up. Parents must talk about it with the child. Possible Reactions: An increase in crying Wanting more attention than usual May discover anger and not understand it Difficulties sleeping Irregular habits forming Remedy Ideas for Parents: Have a normal routine Be very nurturing, extra attention Spend quality time with the child Do not show tenseness with actions Look to friends and relatives to spend some time with the child Parent/Child Psychological Evaluation: Is your child OK?
