Can Movies Help Children Going Through A Divorce?

Perhaps one of the most heartbreaking aspects of a divorce is that of child custody. Children often do not fully understand the situation and it can be difficult to explain it to them. Not only that, but parents have the difficult decision of how to divide custody. According to a family therapist at the Children's Hospital of Orange County, movies can be a helpful tool in opening dialogue between the children and their parents. Movies such as ET: The Extraterrestrial and Mrs. Doubtfire portray families trying to adjust to a new lifestyle. By watching these movies with your children, you could talk openly and honestly with your children.
