Assignment: Action Plan 4: Supporting Families of Divorce
Action Plan 4: Supporting Families of Divorce
Almost one out of two marriages in the United States ends in divorce (Berns, 2015, p. 93). This high rate of divorce potentially places many young children and their parents in need of support. In Week 2, you read about some of the changes and challenges that divorce can bring to families. This week, you will focus on the role of an early childhood professional in helping young children and families who are experiencing separation and divorce.
Imagine that you are working in an early childhood setting and in the same year, three families are going through divorces. You are committed to supporting each family as much as possible and so decide to research the impact of this experience on infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in order to help all adults involved better understand what the children and families are going through. You also want to help each of the familiesâ€â€and others you will work withâ€â€diminish the negative emotional and behavioral effects on young children that divorce can bring. Your initial research underscores the complexity of divorce and family situations, noting that some children may do better following a separation and divorce than children in a household that is rife with conflict. You remind yourself to keep an open mind as you continue research and form your Action Plan.
As you put your Action Plan together, consider:
· What adults who work with young children need to know in order to understand the needs of children at different ages and stages who are experiencing separation and divorce
· What ideas and advice from experts can be useful in assisting young children and families dealing with divorce
· What an early childhood profession can do to helpâ€â€both directly, by offering information and suggestions, and by referring the family to other community resources and professionals

3. Taking Action: Supporting a Family Experiencing Separation and Divorce
With knowledge and ideas in hand, you’re ready to take action to support young children by talking with the significant adults in their lives. Use the information and advice from the articles to make your plan. Think of it as preparing a script for meeting with the parents or other significant family adults. Include the following in your plan:
Part I: Supporting an Infant
Explain in your own words:
Developmental information about what an infant may feel or understand about a separation and divorce
Possible ways that an infant may respond
Specific suggestions from experts on how to help an infant through a separation and divorce
Part II: Supporting a Toddler
Developmental information about what a toddler may understand about a separation and divorce
Possible ways that a toddler may respond
Specific suggestions from experts on how to help a toddler through a separation and divorce
Part III: Supporting a Preschooler
Developmental information about what a preschooler may understand about a family separation and divorce
Possible ways that a preschooler may respond
Three specific ideas or activities that the family can do to help a preschooler through a divorce and separation
As you write your plan, remember:
· Your goal is to increase parents’ awareness of how a child at each age may respond to separation and divorce. Focus on information that you, as an early childhood professional, are qualified to give.
· Most likely the parents are struggling, too. Be considerate of their feelings in explaining children’s needs.
· Choose language that you would feel comfortable usingâ€â€language that is respectful and sensitiveâ€â€to create a model presentation for talking with adult family members.
