What Protects Children of Divorce

Captions available

The idea

Children cope better with divorce when parents limit conflict, stay warm and supportive, keep regular contact, and have enough resources.

In practice

Divorced parents speaking civilly at pickup and never using the child as a messenger.

Where people slip

The misconception is that divorce always harms children. Most lead well-adjusted lives, and divorce can help by ending exposure to abuse or hostile conflict.
