Why Your Children May need Professional Help?
Children take a direct hit when their parents separate/divorce. Children are known to be impacted by their parents broken relationship up until late adulthood. How the children fair in a divorce is not usually because the parents divorce but instead, research confirms that it is more how the adults handle the conflicts during these difficult times that leaves a long-lasting effect on the children. The outcome can be to make them stronger in managing potential conflicts of their own as they negotiate life or leave them damaged and struggling emotionally long term. Most parents want their children to come out with minimal negative impact. However, this can be challenging as you struggle with your own emotions; and Divorce Counselling Vaughan can provide the professional support you and your children need.
Some tell tale changes you might see in children include but not limited to:
• Aggressive behaviors, clinginess, withdrawal, isolation, academic regression, defiant behaviours, excessive, unusually pleasing parent, guilt, shame, withdrawal from social activities, playing the role of parent, wanting to make things right for you, substance use and many more.
• Your child reaction to your separation will be affected by their age, stage of development, psychological and mental maturity or the presence of disabilities.
• Studies have also shown the effect of divorce in increasing the risk to a child’s mental health. Children of divorced parents show more symptoms of psychological problems irrespective of their age, gender or culture.
Divorce counselling can help your children understand and manage their emotions and the impact of their parents’ separation on them.
