The Children of Divorce
Children of Divorce have their own set of concerns and issues. This presentation is based on longitudinal studies of children from the separation to fifteen years later. Studying the reactions and attitudes of these children has given us valuable insights into how parents can help children handle this crisis in their young lives.

This presentation is of special interest to parents or professionals who work with children, including teachers, daycare workers, public health, and youth group leaders.
