All kids love holidays, yet when the family lived apart , holidays becomes a time of year rather delicate . For parents are pretty tough few dates .

Children and Divorce holidays

Depending on the age of the child, the period of divorce can affect in different ways. All these symptoms are accentuated in holiday periods :

    Children up to 3 years tend to be more irritable, and in some cases overcome behaviors such as repeated wetting himself .
    Children 3-5 years many have anxiety, do not want to go to school or even prefer sleepovers .
    Children from 5 years : they may believe they have to choose between their parents , or because of the situation.
    Older children: not uncommon for parents reproach the situation.

At a time like holidays that children have always lived together as one family , parents must organize and bargain peacefully periods for all this does not get worse .

Parents Children and holidays

In this first year of separation , the child needs holidays and holiday more than ever. Parents should strive to follow at this time with the child celebrating holidays : decorating , go to holidays markets , continue family dinners.
