The article explores how divorce affects infants, emphasizing the first year of life as crucial for brain development and establishing security. It highlights that babies absorb their caregivers' emotions and require consistent routines to feel safe. When parents divorce, the resulting emotional turmoil can negatively impact the baby, even before birth, leading to instability in caregiving and disruptions in attachment. Such changes can hinder the baby's ability to establish trust and security, essential for healthy emotional development.
The emotional turmoil leading up to divorce may even affect a baby in utero, impacting caregiving dynamics and parental stress levels.
Babies learn to trust their world through consistent, reliable care; divorce disrupts attachments, influencing their sense of security and emotional development.
