How Divorce Affects Children at Every Age
from Oxendine Law Podcast Hosted by Follow Up Media
One of the biggest concerns parents have during a divorce is how it will affect their children. The reality is that every child experiences divorce differently depending on their age, stage of development, and the way their parents handle the process. In this episode, Jarrod Oxendine and Christine Palmer discuss how toddlers, school-age children, teenagers, and even college-aged children may respond to divorce. They explain why maintaining routines, protecting children from parental conflict, encouraging healthy relationships with both parents, and communicating in age-appropriate ways can make a significant difference during the transition. The conversation also explores common mistakes parents make, including placing children in the middle of adult conflicts, speaking negatively about the other parent, and unintentionally creating loyalty conflicts that can have lasting emotional effects. No matter your child's age, there are practical steps you can take to help them feel secure, supported, and loved throughout the divorce process. Are you contemplating divorce? We can help.
