Divorce is a major stressor for families. Decades following divorce, some parents are still angry and they continue to experience significant difficulties in terms of leaving the past behind, coping effectively, and rebuilding their lives. For children, the negative effects of divorce can follow them into adulthood.
Florida Statutes (61.21 F.S.), make it a requirement for divorcing parents with minor children and those who are involved in paternity actions to take a parenting course before final judgment is rendered, unless they obtain special exemptions from the courts. Parenting courses must be approved by the Florida Department of Children and Families and each curriculum must fulfill the “Parent Education and Family Stabilization” requirements of the Florida Statutes.
The beneficial nature of parenting and divorce education classes in assisting both adults and children with divorce-related concerns is well-known. Providing parents with information about divorce and parenting is very important. This information includes life choices, numerous options and decisions, which could significantly affect parents’ own futures and their ability to help their children adjust successfully to the many challenges that usually emerge after this major loss.
SANDCASTLES is an educational program and support group that is designed specifically for children of divorce, ages 6-17 Years. This 3.5-hour program, teaches children valuable adjustment skills, which help make divorce less traumatic and less painful.
Parenting/Divorce classes and Sandcastles groups are offered by Dr. Percy Ricketts in Pembroke Pines, Broward County, Florida. Please call for information on classes, which are at other locations.
