Recommended: The Impact of Divorce on Young Children and Adolescents

P1: Diagnostic Essay As studies show learning new things can help with the growth of your brain. It can be with the simplest things for younger children and adults. Everyone learns something new everyday, our brains grow with all the new stuff we learn. In my situation i had to learn how to move on with my life and learn how to do things on my own. As a young child of six years old i didn't really understand what the words divorce meant. All i knew is that my dad just wasn't going to be living at home with me and my family. I have two older sibling, a brother and a sister. They knew what was going on and understood more than i did. Being the baby of the family and a daddy's girl it was hard for me to adjust to my dad not being around all …show more content…

It necessarily wasn't important things, but little things in life that my dad would just help me with when he was around. Without my dad i had to practice baseball on my own, i had to do my homework on my own. Things like that my dad was always there to help me for i had to figure out by myself now. My mom and sibling were to busy with their own problems it was hard for them to help me as well. As i was doing things on my own i knew i was learning a lot more. I was become more wise. I had become very independent and i work my brain to its full capacity. Everything i did i challenged myself to the max to be the best i can be. When it came to school work i was the one who didn't need mandatory help i just went to get extra help to open up my mind more and get more information and to learn new things. For me being in that situation where your parents are getting a divorce and you are six years old it is tough, but i feel like it made me learn more. It made me a stronger person, it taught me a lot, it taught me how to be independent. I learned so much on my own at a young age i feel like it paid off as i got older because i had the mindset that i always had an open mind and i was ready to learn. I still think till this day that i learn something new every single day and that my brain continues to grow. I am still very young and have so much more to learn so my brain has a lot more to

    Arthur L. Costa explains the habits that people with growth mindsets acquire over time in “DESCRIBING 16 HABITS OF MIND.” Costa’s eighth habit, “Applying Past Knowledge to New Situations” is all about using past knowledge in order to work through new problems. I agree that this is a very important habit to have in order to make problem solving easier. Those with a growth mindset use this habit in order to learn more and understand better. This habit allows them “to abstract meaning from one experience, carry it forth, and apply it in a new and novel situation” (Costa 7). They use their past experiences and apply that knowledge when they are faced with a new problem. If they would forget everything they learned and never use any of their past knowledge they would not be able to move on when faced with a new

  • Effects of Divorce on Children

    872 Words  | 2 Pages

    Divorce can cause stress and anxiety on a child of any age. Depending on the age, children of divorce suffer psychological effects that are far reaching, even into adulthood and their own marriages. Young children in preschool age, do not really understand why their parents are divorced, and they have the need to get their parents back together. They may also tend to regress back to an earlier stage in their life by acting babylike in order to command more attention from both parents. Slightly older children, from about ages 6-8 years old, feel the same basic emotions, but they also tend to go through a grieving period, as well. They do not tend to revert back to earlier childhood stages, however they are more apt to feel lost in the ‘shuffle’ and start to wonder who will care for them, and wonder who really loves them because mom and dad stopped loving each other.

    First and foremost, it is important to remember that age is not a safeguard against the effects experienced by children. Nearly all children and adolescents, regardless of age, react to and are affected by parental divorce (Oppawsky 2). Although infants and toddlers may seem too young to understand what is happening during a divorce, they can still be affected by it. During their first three years of life, children grow quickly, become mobile, learn language, begin to understand how the world works and form social relationships (Hunter and Trussell 1). At these ages, parental divorce comes at a time where consistency is critical and a large amount of childhood development occurs, so it’s important for the divorcing parents to be conscientious

    Flexibility- Being raised with my 2 little brothers and a single mother is hard. More when I was 15 and my brothers were 12 and 11. Something I learned quickly is you never got what you asked for right away. It was hard for my mom to raise 3 kids. Where I had to be flexible is where when me and my brothers all wanted to go to a friend house at different times. Well that wasn't possible with only one parent who could drive. Most of the time I would never go to my friends house at the time I wanted to go at. I either had to wait for my mom to get home from work or go super early. Something if I wanted to go out and do some active, I couldn't if my mom couldn't find a babysitter to watch my little brothers. A lot of the time I couldn't just go out and do whatever I wanted my mom needed me to help around the house. It really helped me out today to be more calm and flexible with my schedule and others in my life.
