Indian cricket team’s star player Hardik Pandya and his wife actress Natasha Stankovic are going to get divorced. Hardik himself has announced this news on Instagram post. Regarding his son Agastya, he has written that, ‘Now both of them will co-parent their son’. Earlier, cricketer Shikhar Dhawan has got divorced from his wife Ayesha, after which his 6-year-old son had to face it.
These examples show that divorce between parents is a huge change in the life of a young child. When the child is told about it, it has a profound effect on his physical, mental and emotional health. Even though the parents may feel independent after the divorce, it leaves a very deep impact on the child’s life. So let us know how the decision of divorce between parents affects the children.
Does the child understand the meaning of divorce?
Hardik Pandya’s son is less than 5 years old. Children of this age do not understand the meaning of divorce. They only know that things are not working out between their parents, so they are separating. But they do not understand the concept of divorce and do not want their parents to ever separate.

Divorce has a bad effect on children
It has been observed that children of the age of Hardik’s son start blaming themselves for their parents’ divorce. As they grow up, this feeling becomes even stronger. Such children often keep their anger suppressed. Sometimes they even start hating their parents.

Irritability may increase in children
A small child may experience mood swings after hearing the news of his parents’ divorce. They become irritable while talking to relatives or friends. This has such a deep impact on some children that they stop talking to people and prefer to stay alone.
Children are victims of depression
According to a study published in the Marriage and Religion Research Institute, a child’s heart breaks badly due to the divorce of parents. Living with this feeling continuously, most children can become victims of depression. This affects their studies. Emotional support of parents is very important to stay at the top in studies. But after their separation, children lose interest in studies.
It affects children of all ages
No matter what the age, children are affected badly by their parents’ divorce. Younger children take time to adjust, while older children can understand the state of the relationship and deal with it firmly.
