Hello, I am looking for someone to write an article on Negative Impacts of Separation or Divorce on Children and Adolescents. It needs to be at least 3000 words. The paper will proceed to examine the likely policy implications on the issues and also particular areas where more research is necessary to expound on the issue. By virtue of the wide-ranging comparative review that this paper seeks to take, the paper intends to elaborate the exact aspects of parental support which have a bearing on the psychological development and welfare of children and adolescents and how parental separation or divorce can impact them by observing the synthesis plan of identification, screening, determining eligibility and inclusion of the relevant sources as captured in the appendices.

In most cases, parental separation is generally considered as the beginning of a divorce and it extends long after the process. Owing to the practical parental abdication of several responsibilities, the children need psychological support and interventions in order to limit the potentially damaging impacts of the process on children and adolescents (Hetherington, & Arasteh, 2014). However, despite the fact that short-term distress immediately after separation is relatively prevalent, this usually reduces in intensity with time and permanent adverse impacts typically affect only a small number of children going through the outcomes of parental separation and divorce. Regardless, children who are affected are normally hit hard emotionally, in what calls for adequate support and interventions to rescue them from the risks of stunted development in the form of poor performance in school or anti-social behavior.

According to Martin and Fabes (2008) children and adolescents whose parents have separated are at a high risk of suffering from emotional distress due to: poor economic status throughout their life. anti-social behaviors which only send them away from their peers, and in the adverse scenario in jail. poor performance in academics, considering that the distress could hamper regular attendance of or concentration in school.
