Divorce can be a difficult time for a family. When parents divorce, the effects of divorce on children can vary. Some children react to divorce in a natural and understanding way, while other children may struggle with the transition.

Children are resilient and with assistance the divorce transition can be experienced as an adjustment rather than a crisis. Since the children in a divorce vary (different personalities, different ages), the effects of divorce on children vary.
Here are some of the most commonly seen effects divorce has on children.

-Poor performance in school and academics

-Lack of interest in social activities

-Adapting to change

-Emotional sensitivity

-Anger/Resentment/Frustration towards to parents

-Feelings of guilt

-Loss of faith in commitment/marriage

-New health issues
