Supporting Your Child After Divorce (Ages 6 to 8)

Here is a resource for divorcing parents who have a child between the ages of 6 and 8. It is a summary of the developmental characteristics of children in this age group, their common post-divorce reactions, and what parents can do to help. Of course, all children develop at different rates and you know your child better than anyone else, so it's up to you to decide what is best for your child. The slideshow is available for download at slideshare.net.

This summary is based on What About The Kids? by Judith Wallerstein and Helping Your Kids Cope With Divorce the Sandcastles Way by M. Gary Neuman.
