Parents are important figures in the lives of their children and the rupture of this bond can provoke a change in behavior causing the child to cultivate a different life.
Which are
the psychological symptoms that a divorce can cause in a child?
Let´s start
with the fact that the child psychology is a very complicated field to be
explored. Inside the mind of a child can pass several explanations for what
happened, even the feeling of guilt, creating confusion. The divorce is a shock
for kids of any age and not every child has the facility to express their
unhappiness.
The change
in behavior may vary according to ages. Children under 5 years may present a
demanding and abused behavior, while children over 7 years may fail in their
school performance and show signs of melancholy and depression in more severe
cases.
How to deal
with this?
A child who
shows these signs needs to be loved and listened. A psychologist is a good
option but not the only one. Self-destructive behaviors may come to appear and
the child may have difficulties to reveal them. Summing up, the way to deal
with this, is with love and attention!
