Finding the right path to happiness – even after a divorce: A guide for teachers on working with children of divorce

How does parental divorce affect a child’s behaviour? Divorce represents a life-changing event for both children and parents. Children should be able to lead a happy future despite their parents’ divorce. How can teachers help to achieve this? What opportunities are there in the classroom to help children – particularly those affected by divorce – feel more secure? All these questions are answered in the book. It describes the effects of divorce on children’s behaviour and shows how teachers can support affected children. The first part of the book focuses on the theoretical background to divorce. It explains the different family structures, the separation process, the causes of divorce and its effects on children’s behaviour, as well as the resulting consequences. The second part presents books, games and exercises that can be carried out at any time with the whole class or group. Both children of divorce and children whose parents are not divorced benefit from the social games. Teachers can draw on these resources at any time!
