How does parents' divorce affect children?
What will be an ideal response?
Most researchers agree that children from divorced families show poorer adjustment than their counterparts in nondivorced families. Children in divorced families are more likely than children in nondivorced families to have academic problems, to show externalized problems such as delinquency, and internalized problems such as anxiety and depression. They are also likely to be less socially responsible, to have less competent intimate relationships, to drop out of school, and to become sexually active at an early age. Children from divorced families are also at higher risks of taking drugs, associating with antisocial peers, having low self-esteem, and being less securely attached as young adults. However, a majority of children in divorced families do not have significant adjustment problems.
