Childcare Guidance: Understanding Parents and Children in Divorce

Childcare investigator Gu Ja-kyung educates parents and children on emotional stages and the importance of understanding and supporting each other during divorce.

### A Guide to Childcare During Divorce Proceedings
Childcare guide is for parents and children going through divorce, aiming to help them navigate the process and prioritize their children's needs. The education contains general content but may not be directly applicable in cases involving substance abuse, mental disorders, domestic violence, or child abuse. The guide is divided into three parts: examining the psychological states of parents and children, looking into the characteristics of children and how parents can protect them, and discussing the well-being and adaptation of children after the divorce.

### Emotional Stages and Responsibilities in the Divorce Process
The divorce process involves emotional stages of shock, anger, and acceptance, which may vary for each person. It is crucial to understand and respect the different emotional stages of both parties to make rational decisions and communicate effectively. Parents going through divorce have the responsibility to avoid using their children as a tool to blame the other parent and to make conscious efforts to maintain the bond between the child and the other parent.

### The Impact of Parental Words on Children's Emotions During Divorce
Children can internalize criticism and blame directed at their parents during divorce, leading to resentment and strained relationships. Some parents may ask their children to provide false testimonies, causing further emotional harm and confusion. The emotional turmoil of divorce can lead to uncontrollable anger in parents, negatively affecting their children.

### Coping with Parents' Relationship Changes
Children's emotions towards their parents' relationship changes can vary from hope to anger, bargaining, depression, and ultimately acceptance. It's important for parents to fully accept and support their children through these emotional stages. Communication with the child's teacher can also help in expressing emotions that the child finds difficult to communicate to the parents.

### Supporting Children Through Family Changes
Children often respond to family changes with guilt and fear, believing they are the cause of conflicts. It's crucial for parents to reassure them that the changes are not their fault. Children also fear the unknown, so parents should communicate with them at their level and address their concerns about the future. It's important to explain what will change and what will remain the same, while also listening to their worries and showing respect for their feelings. Prioritizing the children's needs and involving them in the conversation is essential for helping them adapt to the family changes.
