What do children feel when parents divorce

Divorce of parents can not go to the child well, as if in a civilized and friendly way, he would not be carried out. This is the conclusion, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania.

In recent years, Hollywood has broken up several star couples who have common children grow. The couple parted with the scandal (like Arnold Schwarzenegger or Mel Gibson with his wives), or by mutual consent (as Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds). In the latter case, the representatives of the stars have emphasized that after divorce   the couple remained friends, and their parting was held in an atmosphere of understanding and agreement that it does not traumatized children.

Alas, any parents' divorce, both heavy and "friendly" still traumatizes children. US researchers analyzed more than 1,000 families with children who have been through a divorce. It turned out that the child is suffering under any scenario of divorce. These studies contradict the popular belief that "good divorce" cost to the child without emotional consequences.

In this connection, the scientists urged the couple to try to save the marriage in every way. They should seek the help of family psychology, and not rush to file a petition for divorce, which would be a heavy blow for the children. Comparison of emotional health and academic performance of children from families going through divorce and different variants of those who live in two-parent families, showed that a child under any scenario the divorce is under attack.

Child psychologists believe that   after divorce   child collapses the whole universe with the usual way of things. Many children believe that their parents disagree, because I no longer love them.
