Effects of divorce on children

Something I have learned this week during our class reading was how the effects of divorce will effect children. People have heard before the different effects divorce took on the family, but people don't really understand the effects divorce has on young children. When a couple gets a divorce it actually disrupts the developmental process and causes a negative effect on the child.

Divorce is a common occurrence in the world that we live in, but when hearing and talking about it, everyone looks past the negative effects it has on everyone around them and only focus on themselves. Spencer W. Kimball once said that divorce is spelled selfishness and that couldn't be more true. Everyone needs to stop focusing on your wants and needs, but start focusing on the families and making them work together.
