Main Issues Of Pedagogy And Psychology
A significant place in the scientific literature is occupied by the study of the problem of the emotional state of children whose parents are in the process of divorce.

They cannot realize the bad impact of the divorce process on the child. And the solution of one important problem remains unfinished: it is the restoration and preservation of the subtle inner world of the child in a chaotic situation.

The divorce rate rose steadily in recent years, becoming a significant social problem. Many studies showed that the divorce has negative impact on children, but there are many different interpretations of the consequences of this situation on children's lives. There is no doubt that children are being affected by the sudden change in their familial environment as well as by additional influences that accompany the divorce process. It is well recognized that the divorce process affects the mental state of the children, including development of behavioral problems, negative self-concept, social problems, and difficulties in relationships with the parents. Among these children there is a higher frequency of depression, violence, learning and social deterioration, and high risk for suicidal attempts. Research in recent years had shown that the divorce process apparently affects also the state of physical illness in children. Based on clinical and empirical studies in recent years, for most children, the traditional visiting arrangements are out of date, unnecessarily restrictive, and do not meet the interests of the children themselves. There are many advantages for children in separation and divorce situations when the children's living arrangements allow the caring fathers to be actively involved in the life of their children, when there are broad visiting arrangements or even shared custody arrangements. In these situations, there is a significant reduction in the negative aspects of the divorce process and there is an objectively beneficial effect on children's adjustment, which is also reflected from the experience of the children themselves. We describe the situation in Israel and recommend the appropriate management in these cases according to our experience and recently studies.

Children of Divorcing Families: A Clinical Perspective
Clinical Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 1999
A B S T R A C T This article describes a project based on a service provided to families going through the divorce process and its aftermath. As divorce Þgures increase, a growing proportion of children will experience its effects and some will have that experience more than once. If present trends continue, one in four children will experience the divorce of their parents before they reach the age of 16. Research in this Þeld is relatively recent and the evidence is controversial. Some studies conclude that children of divorce do worse than those in intact families in several aspects of their development. Other studies suggest that it is the combination of divorce with other factors that makes a difference in terms of childrenÕs development. The model described includes interviewing children and parents separately as well as offering family interviews. Particular attention is paid to the childrenÕs perspective as our clinical experience shows that in the acute aftermath of divorce, there is a conßict between the parentsÕ own needs and their ability to think about the childrenÕs needs. Issues emerging from the interviews, such as the loyalty bind in which children often Þnd themselves and the need for a coherent story of the parentsÕ separation, are discussed. Clinical examples illustrate a way of working towards a more cooperative method of parenting in order to meet the needs of the children.
The Impact of Divorce on Children
This paper will present an overview of the impact of divorce on children and some of the ways that are intended to help children of divorce to successfully function in society. The impact of divorce on children takes many different forms. From mental and physical health concerns to financial instability, children suffer the most in the divorce situation. When a couple, who have children, divorces it affects the whole family. Children of divorced parents experience school and social related problems. Their routines are disrupted and they feel disconnected from one or the other parent. Custodial arrangements are another factor of impact for the children. This causes emotional stress and behavioral problems to develop within the child. Financial instability is another factor for children of divorced parents. In some cases a single parent household cannot maintain living conditions of the previous joint household. Children of couples, who divorce, are challenged in many different ways to cope with the reality of their new situation. These children often struggle in their environment due to many different factors but there are ways to help with the situation.
Divorce: Causes and Effects on Children
Asian Journal of Humanities and Social Studies
This paper investigates “Divorce: Causes and Effects on Children.” Worthy of note is that the fact that, divorce is not an uncommon experience in human history. It is experienced by couples irrespective of their social, religious, academic, political, economic, etc. status. One of the most hit in the saga of divorce are children born into the wedlock where divorce is experienced. The effects of this divorce on children are most often not well considered by the parents who embark on taking the status of divorcees. This becomes the onus of this paper using sociological and psychoanalytical approaches to the study of human institutions to study these effects on children, though not without looking at the causes of divorce. The paper reveals that the effects of divorce on children often are emotional, psychological, economical and religious spheres among others and recommends ways in which these effects can be minimized among children.
Examination of the factors affecting the adjustment of the children of divorced families
Türk psikolojik danışma ve rehberlik dergisi, 2023
The purpose of this study is to investigate the systemic relationships in the school and family environments that may influence the divorce adjustment of children aged 6-11 from the point of views of their parents, teachers and school counselors. Bronfenbrenner's Socio-Ecological Theory provides the basis for this study, explaining how personal characteristics and context interact to influence human development and behavior. In this qualitative study, phenomenological design was used to provide a comprehensive understanding of the children's adjustment to parental divorce. Thematic content analysis was used to analyze 27 interviews with 9 parents, 8 teachers, and 3 psychological counselors of 10 children. The findings reveal that children's adjustment to parental divorce examined under five themes: a) family microsystem, b) school microsystem, c) mesosystem d) exosystem and e) macrosystem. The first theme is divided into four categories: Family structure, custodial parent-child relationships, noncustodial parent-child relationships and relationships with root family. The second theme is divided into three categories: The teacher-student relationship, peer relationships, and the school counselor-student relationship. The third theme is divided into two categories: Teacher-parent collaboration and school counselor-parent collaboration. The fourth theme is divided into three categories: Dynamics of the education, law, and economic systems. The fifth theme is divided into two categories: The socioeconomic structure and the sociocultural structure. As a result, supporting children's adjustment to divorce requires a comprehensive approach and collaborative interventions at multiple levels. ''C9 has negative feelings toward the father, but the main reason is communication with the mother. He is more reliant on his mother, and he hasn't seen his father in years, so he has negative feelings. However, he will not be able to react in this manner if he sees his father.'' (P2) Also, the effects of the events witnessed and/or directly experienced by the children in the divorce process on the children's adjustment were come forward in the interviews. These events can be identified as one-time or ongoing negative interactions between the step-parent/parents' partner and the child, attendance at court, witnessing domestic violence, confiscation of belongings in the house, and living on the street. ''There was fighting, insults, alcohol, and everything else. We were able to divorce thanks to the children's testimony. (crying) We came here on our own and built a home. I don't regret getting divorced, but I'm sad because my children are exposed to it.'' (E8) ''Because the children were exposed to very different situations, such as the presence of someone in their father's life, the child calling and someone else answering the phone... my child had no idea what swearing was, and for the first time (I heard), my child was swearing on the phone when that woman answered the phone.
