What Can Parents Do?
When divorce is inevitable or is the best decision for family members, what can parents do to help minimize the negative effects of the disrupted family on their children? How can they help make the new family structure as positive as possible?
First of all, parents need to know that not all of the negative effects mentioned in the studies will be experi enced by all children of divorce. And those that are present can be made less intense with education, nur turing, good communication, and lots of love.
At least two general avenues to helping children process the divorce experience are available: outside help and parental effort. An example of outside help might be an intervention program for children. An ideal prevention program would accomplish several things, including:
• Helping children to resolve divorce-related anxi eties, confusion, and blame.
• Helping children to express anger in divorce related situations.
• Helping parents agree on visitation and custody.
• Helping parents to respond appropriately to
children’s divorce-related concerns.
• Helping ex-spouses develop good post-divorce
parental relationships and parent-child relation
ships.
• Helping parents resolve issues of anger and dis
appointment.
