    Abstract
    This WLCFS document briefly addresses the effects of divorce on children from all age groups, and through a brief case study, demonstrates the effects it can have on these children when they become adults.
     
    This WLCFS resource examines the developmental, emotional, and spiritual impact of divorce on children from infancy through adolescence. Using age-specific insights, it outlines how children internalize family breakdown, often blaming themselves, struggling with identity, and experiencing disrupted trust, anger, and depression. The paper emphasizes that divorce alters a child’s perception of relationships, self-worth, and even their view of God. A case study illustrates long-term effects, while key factors in adjustment—such as the quality of the child’s relationship with both parents and parental cooperation—are highlighted. Practical suggestions for pastors and teachers include offering spiritual reassurance, promoting continued parental involvement, and developing church-based support systems. The guide encourages family life education and emphasizes the importance of ministering to one’s own family as a foundation for broader ministry. Ultimately, it affirms that healing is possible through the power of the Holy Spirit and the support of the Christian community. Prepared by Microsoft Copilot (GPT-4)
