Divorce issues affect children and quick bearing with such circumstances rather than
undergoing hardships is necessary. Parents’ financial status can impact the children’s lives after
divorce. Parent that resides with the children after the divorce have a less impact and children
will shift quickly from divorce. Availability of the parent to the children day by day is also
significant. Upbringing and how it was done before divorce is helpful for their recovery from
divorce effects too.
Younger children are most likely to be affected by the divorce compared to those that
faced it at an older age. Young children will have to live a longer time of their live separated
from apart of their family members yet have low potential to cope with the situation. Boys are
vulnerable to divorce effects than girls. Boys are physiologically defenseless to stress. Many
parents are strict to boys compared to how they handle the girls. Boys who side with their
mothers after divorce live minus the masculine mentor.
Children with an optimistic attitude cope up and rebound faster. Such children have hope
for things unseen, they desire to attain certain ambitions and usually they are focused on those
actions and in return they help them recover. If their intelligent quotient is high naturally, they
have a higher ability to adapt with the divorce situation.
Economic well-being. (Clark-Stewart, 2006) Children have worse circumstances after
divorce especially when their parent’s financial well-being is not in a position to sustain them
and their needs. Parents psychological well-being is also a factor as they might be affected
emotionally and such problems end up being deployed on mishandling the children.
Social and moral support. Parents should be mentors and friends to their children
Qualities of guardianship are important since young ones do better with their parents close to
them. Monitoring the child's actions, bedrest time, consumed items mainly to rescue them from
drug and substance use and keen observation on adolescents’ character to relieve them anxiety
and respective flunk actions.
Parents might be the one major thing children need around them and perhaps as long as
life endures. Parents should realize this fact.
