I have an in class debate for my psychology class, of if Divorce affects the children or not.
I believe it does, but I got put on the ‘no it does not side’ (We did not get to choose)
And I really cant find any sources to show it does not. So if anyone can give me any opinions and why I would be grateful.
Search for good parenting websites instead of how to help your children deal with divorce.
It’s important to tell your kids that they had nothing to do with it. If both parents are trying to be good parents, it can affect kids less.
Never bash the other parent in front of the kid

You can teach your children how to deal with conflict well. You can teach your children about healthy marriages and how two people can love each other and not be right for each other. This is especially true as teenagers are dealing with that. Someone can be a great guy and not right for you.
Both parents can focus on the quality of the kids lives.
For young children it can be an opportunity to express their feelings and learn how to honesty communicate negative feelings in a proper manner.
