Each child and each family are obviously unique, with different strengths and weaknesses, different personalities and temperaments, and varying degrees of social, emotional, and economic resources, as well as differing family situations prior to divorce. Despite these differences, divorce has been shown to diminish a child’s future competence in all areas of life, including family relationships, education, emotional well-being, and future earning power. In family counseling, we identify the social, psychological, and environmental conditions existing before divorce. We deal with the residual divorce stressors. We then identify the effects of divorce on children’s functioning and life satisfaction. We use this information to help identify the need to continue therapy.

There are types of intervention with children during the divorce process: therapy, supervision and learning programs, and educational courses. Each of these forms of intervention must be customized for the child, family and circumstances of the case, for optimal results.

The objective of this type of intervention is to address the child’s current emotional or psychological needs without changing his or her past. Therapy is usually delivered by trained psychologists, psychiatrists or clinical social workers, although other professionals may be employed when necessary. In most cases, therapy is limited to a one-time session and followed by a one-year progress report. Successful therapy requires strong, authentic relationships between the therapist and the child, continuity between sessions, and coaching from the therapist to the child. Successful therapy is best delivered in a therapeutic alliance with the therapist, supported by the parents, and motivated by the parents.

The supervision of children in divorce is similar to the supervision of children in every other area of the child’s life: school, play, and community groups. Parents, teachers and professionals collaborate to ensure that the child is being managed in the context of his or her school, social, psychological, and cultural context. Supervision is usually delivered by trained professionals; however, it is individualized to the needs of each child. Successful supervision requires that the professional person and the child be of high trust and the child be comfortable with the professional.

An educational course is a type of educational intervention in which each child is followed through a process of instruction, activity, and testing. The process may include instruction in reading, writing, math, language, personal finance, history, science, technology, engineering, art, and physical education. Educational courses can be delivered by professional tutors or by the teacher in the class. There are two types of educational courses: academic courses and play-based courses. Academic courses are delivered as academic tutoring or by an instructional consultant. Play-based courses are delivered as a “free” activity at the recess and lunch times of the school day.

While educational courses are similar to professional child psychology courses, they are delivered in a context that is less formal and more personal. The objective of an educational course is to address the child’s academic problems in a supervised setting, which has been determined by the child’s parents to be appropriate. The developmental approach of educational courses is to address academic problems in children by addressing the child’s physical, emotional, social, psychological, and cultural needs. Educational courses take into consideration the cultural variations within the school district and state. This approach allows the course providers to tailor the course to meet the learning needs of each child. Educational courses have taken into account the child’s cultural values, cognitive skills, language abilities, personal interests, and home environment. The child’s cultural values, cognitive skills, language abilities, personal interests, and home environment are reviewed when preparing the educational program.

*How Can a Teacher Be Acknowledged?

Education providers must recognize their teachers and students as separate actors. The teacher is acknowledged by the child’s peers and teachers. The child’s peers acknowledge the teacher and the teacher acknowledges the child by using reciprocal recognition. This means that the child sees the teacher as a person he is likely to interact with in the future. The teacher is aware of this and uses reciprocal recognition to be acknowledged.

* How is Learning Transmitted to the Teacher?

The teacher builds the child’s understanding of the material, but is limited in the materials that he or she can use for this purpose. The child can use books, story times, and other classroom activities. This allows the child to build the vocabulary and understanding of the material.

* Can the Teacher Use Lesson books for Learning?

Books and lesson plans are useful for learning, but can be cumbersome to use. They can be cumbersome to learn because of the amount of information they contain, but cannot be used for more than a short-term task. Lesson sessions can only be completed in a specific format, but cannot be extended.

* What Is the Role of the Teacher in the Child’s Life?

The child has many needs and wants from the teacher, such as an open dialogue about the child’s behavior, and the child’s cultural background, and special needs. The child has the child’s needs, which must be met from the child’s teacher. The teacher may be the one person who knows the child best and knows what will help him understand the material, and thus can be trusted to explain it. The teacher may be the person who can speak with the child without fear of judgment or rejection. The child will not feel he needs the teacher to explain anything to him, because the child will not feel he needs the teacher to explain anything. The child will be able to understand from other sources.
