Disruptions in family functioning, like divorce or a parent moving away for work, can cause
children to feel stressed, insecure, and emotionally unsupported. This can slow their
development in areas like learning, social skills, and emotional control. Without a stable,
loving environment, children may struggle to focus in school, express their feelings, or form
healthy relationships with others.
For example, if a child’s parents divorce, the child may feel anxious and distracted, leading to
poor performance in school and difficulties making friends. This emotional stress can result in
developmental delays, affecting their overall growth and well-being. These disruptions of
family life may lead to a lack of love, acceptance, interpersonal communication and
relationships, and sense of belonging, which may then negatively influence their physical,
cognitive, as well as social and emotional development (Prinsloo, 2011)
