Course Description
This 1-hour on demand course looks at research that helps explain what may be going on in a child’s brain as a child becomes resistant to seeing a parent in separation and divorce.
From neurons and developing synapses to emotional intensity and repetition, it addresses several questions that mystify professionals and parents alike in the area of alienation (estrangement, resistance and refusal):
- Why does alienation and realistic estrangement look so similar on the surface?
- Why does resistance and refusal usually take hold between ages 9 and 13?
- Why are an alienated child’s reasons for rejecting a parent so lame or minor?
- Why is the child’s view of a rejected parent so pure rather than having some ambivalence?
