Over the last several months we have covered a lot of different topics relating to child and divorce. Today I would like to discuss the topic of miscommunication. Miscommunication is a big problem that, unfortunately, is experienced by a lot of divorced families. This blog will help you identify why is happens and how you can stop it from happening in your family.
The first type of miscommunication that can occur is miscommunications between divorced parents. In this situation miscommunication can be caused by a lot of things including: reluctance to communicate with each other, strategic miscommunication, deception and unclear communication channels. To prevent miscommunications between you and your parenting partner, you need to (1) focus on what is good for your kids, (2) create a standard communication system that transmits clear communication between the two of you, and (3) that is focused on open and honest communications.
Another type of miscommunication that can occur within a divorced family is between parents and their kids. Miscommunication between parents and children is not specific to divorced families. Parent/child miscommunications typically occur because an open system of communication has not been established, because kids don’t always deliver messages effectively and because parents sometimes forget to keep their kids in the loop. One way that you can improve the communication effectiveness within your divorced family is to establish a system of communication that makes it easy to deliver messages from one person to the next and that also encourages open and honest transmissions.
Children and divorced parents both need to work on communicating with one another. Miscommunication is a big problem that even can make adult children of divorce difficult for everyone involved. Return next week to the Children and Divorce Blog, to discuss Earth Day activities for divorced families.

having been through this myself as an adult with children I have fully seen the result of deceptive communication. As well as thinking of the children though, we must remember that we are emotional beings and splits are never easy.

Matttew, I agree 100% with you. See my comment above that was written in response to what Andy had to say.

It’s so important that two parents try to get on (as much as possible) after divorce. It makes it so much easier in the long run, and certainly helps children. They don’t want to see their parents not getting on, so being amicable towards one another will make their lives (and your’s) a lot easier.

Divorce hurts the children the most. I came from a divorced parents and it was a devastating thing to experience. It dissolved my belief and trust in relationships.
Parents should consider what their children would feel

These are the children who are mostly affected as a result of their parent’s divorce. Miscommunication or a lack of communication may lead your child stressed and demoralized. Necessary care should be taken by the parents to their child even after divorce.

Babies need special care specially from their parent. So, parent should not create a communication gap with their child even though they are divorced.

Children can have a negative reaction towards their parents getting divorce, but staying together for the sake of the children doesn’t often work. They can sense things aren’t right and (especially if the parents are obviously not getting on) this can affect them even more.

It’s really hard for the part of the children having divorced parents. Most of them are having troubles in school or may have problems with their behavior. Home and family life gives a strong impact to the children.

These are really great tips. I think #3 is especially important. I recently wrote a post called “why i need other people to change myself” and it deals with the idea that we all need other people to help us out at times. For some (like me!) this is hard to admit, but it is important to ask for help when it’s needed. This is a really helpful post. Thank you!

Relationships need a lot of work. But aside from this, an open line of communication should also exist. Maybe if couples spend more time really talking and less time finding blame, then most marriages will probably become successful.

The ties were conventional attire in the nineteenth century. Honorees de Balzac has been quoted as saying that manner in which a man tied his bow tie distinguished “a man of genius from a mediocre one”. Portraits of U.S. presidents from Van Buren through McKinley commonly show them in bow ties. Wearing of a bow tie was seldom commented upon and did not form part of the public perception and I like to discuss about this in my blog thanks for sharing the info

you are your child’s role model. If you are not able to work out your difference in a responsible manner,then they are going to think that this is the only way that they can resolve their own problems.Thanks for the post.

My parents divorced when I am in grade school and my family didn’t communicate about it until my sister rebel and we can’t control her. I agree that communication is the best key to it. Everything can settle with a good conversation.

Divorce is so hard on the kids, but I wonder if staying together is worth it either. Such a difficult situation to have to be in. Thank you for your insight.
