About Divorce Video Analysis

I remember when I was younger and my parents got divorced, it was hard for me and my younger brothers. We were forced to grow up and accept the fact that a big change was coming. My maturity level skyrocketed, at least compared to other kids my age, because I understood what it was like to go through something life altering and they didn’t. I no longer was stuck in fairytale land. I had to wake up and move on along with the rest of reality.

Divorce causes many problems for children and has many implications. Psychological implications include mental health problems and behavioral problems.

Many turn toward violence, crime, drugs, and isolation. Studies show how adults can reduce the tension for these children. Other

The conflict is Man vs. Man, and is Internal. The conflict is Mr. Martin and his feelings against Mrs. Barrows. It is Internal primarily, because most of the story is about his struggle with these feelings. He is not vocal about them, only keeping them to himself. Only in the end does he take any action. This can be seen on page 368, “The woman had appalled Mr. Martin instantly, but he hadn 't shown it” (Thurber 368).

In a “The Kid’s Guide to Divorce” by Lorrie Moore, a young child is learning to cope and deal with her parent’s divorce in her own way which includes feeling the need to cater to each individual parent by selecting word choice that won’t make them feel uncomfortable. She even goes to the lengths of comparing them to scary characters on late night television which suggest that she is feeling more emotions. The story put an emphasize on the child’s perspective of what is happening and shows the true emotions of pain and temporary happiness that she is feeling internally and how she is dealing with them. It is beneficial to apply the psychological perspective to this moment of conflict within the child because divorce has a tendency to be a

“Teen Health and Wellness” expresses that the result on children ages six to eight is most profound. It says they are old enough to realize what is happening but do not have adequate skills to deal with the disruption. It asserts that they often feel a sense of responsibility, experience tremendous grief, and have a pervasive sadness and yearning for the departed parent. According to this article, adolescents' reactions to divorce include anger, a desire for a stable home, and a need for clear boundaries between them and their parents, especially around such issues as sexuality, dating, and household responsibilities. “Dysfunctional Family” testifies that teens that already have to deal with their maturing bodies and minds, divorce is just an added burden (Dysfunctional Family).

Both parents need to reassure the children the divorce is not their fault. Parents need clear verification that the divorce is a final decision. Encourage a stable and good relationship with the child at visitation; both parents need to be civil towards each other, which prevents the child from having to be pulled in the middle and having to choose sides and one parent. Allow your adolescent to remain an adolescent and not feel they have to fix things or take care of

I personally found the video "Mathematics of Divorce" the most interesting. I was impressed by John Gottman's research and how he could predict whether a couple would divorce (with an average of 90% accuracy) simply by analyzing a series of simple questions and answers that the couples gave during a short 30 minute interview. Interestingly, he could even predict how long a couple would stay together based on what he believed were two high risk periods during the course of a marriage. The first high risk period was during the first 7 years of marriage (where couples are learning and adjusting to their new roles/ responsibilities) and the second being between 16-20 years into the marriage (when teenagers are present in the home). I was most

Second question was, describe how you felt after the news of your parents divorcing? Ricardo then explained, “My emotions were

According to Karen DeBord, a child development specialist, there are different stages in childhood, and at each of these stages children have a different understanding of divorce. At the infancy stage children are not capable of understanding the conflict, but may notice a difference in the parents' disposition (DeBord, 1997).
