Week 4 Divorce’s Impact on Preschool, School-Age, and Adolescent Children: Outline

The divorce rate in the United States remains at an all-time high.

Using the textbook, lectures, the Internet, and a minimum of three scholarly sources from the GCU library, research and compare the impact of divorce on preschool, school-age, and adolescent children.

Develop a detailed outline of a research paper in which you consider the socio-emotional response by each age group regarding divorce and custody arrangements.

You are encouraged to use attachment theory in your paper.

Additionally, answer the following questions:

1. What steps can be taken to minimize the number of divorces and help children cope more effectively with their parents’ divorce?

2. As a professional counselor, how might you provide support for the parties involved?
