So far as I explored how kids cope with divorce and what society does to deal with it, I considered many ideas for a possible solution. There are many solutions that already exist today, however the execution of these tactics can be flawed which is why problems still exist today. Some common solutions to help kids get through divorce are counseling, divorce therapy, and other sessions. These are usually one on one sessions or they can involve the child and their parent and will be held with a professional in the field to help clarify the situation to the kid. These can help, however, they are often expensive and the parents are already paying a lot of money out of pocket to get the divorce and situate their new living situations. To solve the issue of expense, I asked some close friends of mine that have undergone their parents’ divorce and figured out a possible way for kids to vent their mind out in a healthy manner. In a focus group, me and my friends discussed how the repetition of discussing how one feels helps a lot even if the listening ear is not a “professional” on the topic. This means that instead of going to a therapist, children could instead meet somewhere such as at school, and caring volunteers can help those that can’t afford a proper program. These sessions could include group therapy or one on one discussions where children can simply have a listening ear to hear their voice on the matter. The thoughts of children and their voices should be listened to because they are ultimately still smart individuals even if they have not reached adulthood yet.
I am not actually a dad. I have first hand experience in some nasty life events and advice that I would like to share with others. One of my favorite hobbies is helping people and I hope this blog can do just that.
