And have also compare the current situation with 20 years later problems and statistical databases . person view point is on that divorce is bad for child, which leads child to serious social, emotional, and/or psychological dysfunction.
Overall, being taken out of a stressful household is an easier transition that being a yanked out of a peaceful one. The University of New Hampshire(extension.unh.edu.family/documents.divorce.pdf) found that age and gender play a large role in how each child reacts to having divorced parents. When an infant's parents get divorced it doesn't understand what is going on but feels the low energy level of its parents. The baby will most likely lose its appetite and spit up more. Preschool children often believe that they caused the divorce.
The Affects of Divorce Among Black College Students Divorce is the legal and final dissolution of a marriage. There are a variety of reasons why people make the decision to divorce. Therapists mention problems with couples growing apart, feeling unloved and unappreciated, and troubles with finances as the top reasons for divorce. Divorce is something that affects most Americans directly or indirectly. Children are affected by the divorce more if the parents have custody hearings or move away from each other.
The Impact of Divorce on Children Abstract The goal of this study is to determine the psychological effects divorce has on children. Most of our society, through the media, believes that divorce has both a short-term and long-term impact on children. Children of divorce parent have a strained relationship with their parents and other nuclear family members, which can lead to unusual stress that interferes with their normal development. Through this study, I will analyze scientific research on the negative impact divorce has on children. With the research, hopefully it can be determined if adverse effects can mitigate with interventions and a positive relationship with both parents being maintained.
Positive parenting, re-establishing trust, and being attuned to children’s emotions can play a big role in diminishing the harmful effects of this trauma. The parent-child relationship must be focused on in order to help a child come through this disturbance. The Impact of Domestic Violence on Preschoolers It is a sad fact that 30-43% of children in the United States have witnessed some form of physical violence between their parents. This violence can have a profound effect on preschoolers development cognitively and emotionally. Studies suggest that younger children may be more vulnerable to the effects of witnessing domestic violence than older children (Johnson and Lieberman, 2007) so it is very disturbing to recognize that young children are more likely to witness incidents of violence than older children (Ybarra, Wilkens, & Lieberman, 2007).
I would like to focus on a few separate areas as it relates to broken homes; divorces, single-parent families, and working mothers with children under age 18. The research findings on divorce and delinquency have been mixed. Overall, however, there is general support for the argument that children of divorce are more likely to be delinquent. For example, a 1994 study by Furstenberg and Teitler looks at the effects of marital disruption before and after the actual act of separation through divorce that may influence a child‘s development. They found that in marriages that are disrupted, parents may have higher levels of conflict, be more prone to economic stress and meager parenting practices.
This is more harmful to the child’s wellbeing on many different levels. Children experience the same feelings associated with divorce that adults do, they feel a loss and grief for the parent that is no longer there on a daily basis. The attachment that they had to the parent prior to the divorce has been forever changed. Some research shows that the quality of relationship between parent and child deteriorates and that the effects last until adulthood (Bouchard & Doucet, 2011). More recently laws have begun to change due to the research that shows children benefit from having both parents involved in their parenting.
Negative aspects and attributes of divorce, such as discussions on the parental control, cruel scenes between parents and negligent attitude towards the child, as proven by the empirical research data, influence future behavioral patterns of this child and create dysfunctional attitude and relationships in his or her own family. The statistics shows that twenty one percent of the respondents in one of the research on the functional differences in the families of individuals, brought up by one of the divorced parents,
Many research studies have shown that, on average, children of divorce have more behavior problems than children growing up in two-parent families. But the question for social scientists is whether the problems seen in the children of divorced parents were caused by the divorce, or whether something else caused BOTH the divorce and the children's problems. Researchers wonder, in particular, whether some couples have personal characteristics and/or parenting patterns that increase the chance that their children will have behavior problems AND ALSO increase the chance that the couple will be unable to resolve marital issues. If this "something else" causes both divorce and behavior problems, then it is likely that that children would still have had problems even if their parents had somehow managed to remain married. How do we look for that "something else"?
