To ensure that children involved are not negatively affected, it is important that parents understand how their interactions, both between each other and with their children, will affect growth and familial relationships.
Research has proven that children struggling to deal with their parent’s divorce may develop depression and anxiety, as well as exhibit behaviors such as delinquency, dropping out of school, drug use and suicide.
The parenting classes Oklahoma are designed to prepare parents to exhibit healthy behaviors in order to avoid these potential issues for their children, and inform them to support their children as they adjust to the new dynamic and atmosphere.
Reconciliation is an included subject in the course, however it is not the sole purpose of the class. A few cases exist where parents may consider restoring harmony. Although research proves that such a situation is healthier for children involved, it is not always the most effective outcome.
