Children of Divorce: The Impact on Classroom Behavior
2001
This paper presents research on the influence of divorce on the classroom behavior of school-aged children. It attempts to uncover some contributing factors that may play a role in how a child deals with divorce. It explores the role of the teacher and school in the intervention and discusses what teachers have observed in working with children of divorce. Data were gathered from a literature review and from interviews with 48 elementary school students. Ten teaching professionals were interviewed about their experiences working with children from divorced families. The literature review suggests that the major contributing factors that may play a role in how a child responds to divorce are parental conflict; parental involvement; family structure; and economic strain. Professionals report that children of divorce have more difficulty behaviorally and academically. They also suggest that children from divorce are more aggressive; pushy; needy for attention; physical; and have difficulty controlling their anger. Schools can play a major role in helping children deal with divorce and can help promote a child's adjustment to the new situation as described in the interviews with professionals. Teachers need to have close contact with parents, provide an environment of love and acceptance, and work to instill confidence in each of these children. (Contains 8 appendixes and 79 references.)

Abstract Divorce is an experience that unfortunately affects a large number of early childhood and elementary students. An intervention was conducted with ten children, three days a week, three hours each day for one month, with the target population of three years of age. Each child had an individualized behavioral plan (IBP), listing goals that each student should accomplish by the end of one-month intervention. A token system, which is a system of behavior modification through positive reinforcement, will be provided for all students. The intervention helped these children experiencing divorce make progress with their separation anxiety; attain a reduction in their targetted, disruptive behaviors; and generally have a more successful classroom experience.
The impact of divorce on middle & high schools students

According to Barthel and Marshall, 3 divorce is the formal legal dissolution of legally constituted marriage. Diedrick, 4 defined divorce as the as a profoundly devastating life experience. In my perspective, these definitions ignore cultural differences between people. A better definition of divorce could be a termination of a marriage through different processes including religion, cultural or judicial process. According to statistics on children of divorce (as cited in Jason, 2022), 21% of American children live without their fathers. Divorce has also affected children in Turkey. According to the Turkish Statistical Institute (2020), meanwhile, the number of married couples were 542 thousand 314 in 2019, decreased by 10.1% to 487 thousand 270 in 2020. The crude marriage rate expressed as the number of marriages for every thousand inhabitants was 5.84 per thousand in 2020, and there were 165,937 children in the custody of their mother or father after their parents divorced. A study conducted in the UK by researchers from the Centre for Longitudinal Studies (2019), highlights that children with divorced parents in late childhood and early adolescence showed an average 16 percent increase in emotional difficulties and an 8 percent rise in behavioral troubles in the short term. Pong and Ju, 5 have shown that high school withdrawal rates for students who reside with both parents were considerably less than for teens with single parents. They have argued that the dropout ratio is approximately twice as high for any student teen in a family type different from a two-parent intact family. The conventional wisdom is that children of middle and high school ages from divorce parents face many difficulties, ranging from difficulties such as aggressive behavior, delinquency, school failure, etc. The main role played by psychologists and sociologists in the construction of this point of view is central at the beginning of the twentieth century in particular by trying to establish a causality between domestic instability and delinquency. 6 A study conducted in the UK by researchers from the UCL, 1 showed that kids with divorced parents in late childhood and early adolescence, from 7 to 14 years of age, showed an average 16 percent increase in emotional difficulties and an 8 percent rise in behavioral troubles in the short term. Jeynes, 7 argued that on average, middle school students from divorced parents are slightly poorer in term cognitive ability compared with students who live in intact families. Divorce of parents mostly impacts students of middle or high school in many ways including academic performance, psychological well-being, personality, behavior, and negative perspective on the people and their future lives.

Academic achievement in children of divorce
Journal of School Psychology, 1996
The influence of parental divorce on Swedish children's final grades from compulsory school was studied. The study group comprised all children (n = 74) of a 1-year-sample of divorcing parents, who finished school within 1 year before, to 5 years after the parental divorce. Each child was matched with two classmates of the same sex from nondivorced homes, born at approximately the same time (control group). Comparisons of grade point average were made among children with different socioeconomic status. The grades of the children of divorce and the controls were similar, but children of manual workers were found to have a lower grade point average than children of higher level nonmanual employees. Thus, the study indicates that parental divorce in itself does not imply a significantly detoriated outcome in final school grades among children.

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.

Children of couples, who divorce, are challenged in many different ways to cope with the reality of their new 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.
