ESSAY ON DIVORCE

Hi, I'm doing a degree in BA Hons Education Studies and early childhood and the module title is diversity in early childhood.

My essay title is;

Critically explore how changing family relationships and perspectives influence children's experiences. (2000 words)

I was thinking about talking about divorce and how divorce affects the child. Do you think this is the kind of thing I'm meant to do???

Please can I have some advice on what to put into my essay and how to set it out.

Thanks so much, Kelly x

Greetings!

It seems to me that the effect of divorce on a child is directly correlated to "changing family relationships and perspectives." If you wanted to tie it in to early childhood education, you could explore the stress of family dynamics in the period leading up to divorce (the children are always aware that "something is wrong between Mommy and Daddy"), the period of the divorce process itself, particularly if parents are fighting over custody, and the adjustments children must make, moving from one parent's home to another, for visitation. After identifying the causes of the stress, you could demonstrate how it affects performance in school--grades, participation in class (or lack of it), and, particularly, interactions with classmates.

I hope this helps you get started!
