Every thirty seconds, a child's parents divorce. According to some experts, divorce is the single most traumatic experience in a child's life. For the 1.1 million children in the United States affected by divorce each year, the emotional trauma of this experience can be serious and far-reaching, often resulting in poor perfromance in school, behavioral problems, and low self-esteem. Don't Divorce the Children is an enlightening and poignant film that explores the various effects divorce can have on these children and their families. Profiling six divorced families, this moving film examines their behavior and interaction. In some cases, the parents have joint custody of their children; in others, the children live exclusively with either their mother or father. Through case histories, Don't Divorce the Children reveals the intricate dynamics of family relationships as parents and children alike try to cope with difficult changes in their lives. For all those involved in a divorce, from the parents and children, to psychologists and lawyers, the film provides valuable insights about the emotional needs of these children and offers some solutions to help alleviate the "tug-of-love" that divorced families experience. Narrated by Timothy Busfield.
