Single Parent Communication in Divorce Understanding for Children

Chycilia Ayu Medya Sari, Prahastiwi Utari, Ign. Agung Satyawan

Abstract


A parental divorce is a life event that can impact children's development in all aspects of life. Parental divorce has both positive and negative consequences. These differences reflect the variety of outcomes influenced by the child's adaptation process. Single parents must communicate effectively and interact with one another to aid in that adaptation process. As a result, this research aims to describe the steps that must be taken and the things that must be considered when informing children about divorce. This article employs a qualitative research method with a literature review approach. Single parents' good communication and interpersonal interactions can help children accept and understand the events that occur in their parents, thereby assisting children in adapting to changes in their families.
