Helping Children Navigate Family Changes with Care
Divorce and separation can be a confusing and emotional time for children.
Even when parents try to shield them, children may experience anxiety, sadness, anger, or guilt. These feelings can affect school, friendships, sleep, and overall wellbeing.
How Divorce Affects Children
Children respond differently to separation depending on their age, temperament, and family dynamics. Common reactions include:
Anxiety about living arrangements
Feeling torn between parents
Sadness, grief, or anger
Changes in behaviour, such as withdrawal or acting out
Sleep disturbances or appetite changes
Difficulty concentrating at school
Providing support early helps children process their emotions healthily and reduces long-term anxiety or behavioural challenges.
