DISCUSSION

A. DEFINITION OF DIVORCE

Divorce is the final decision of the couple to leave each other, leaving both his duty as a husband and wife and left the role as husband / wife / parent families result from the failure of their mentor.

For children who do not understand the meaning of "divorce" they may often wonder why their parents were never together again. They just follow what was said by his parents. For a teenager who is still in a state of very unstable emotionally, they assume it is the destruction of his life, life would be much different after divorce, feel everything becomes chaotic, and feel lost. For children who have grown up, they will be easier to communicate, to better understand the situation and condition, more able to take care of herself, be able to distinguish what is right and what is wrong, and can advise parents fit what he felt.

The point at whatever the age of the children who experienced a split in the family, on the one hand "loss" is the first issue that they see you. On the other hand, they show difficulty in adjusting such as sadness, loneliness, solitude, slump, longings, fears, worries, and depress. It is all just part of the sense of disappointment to his parents. Who will be traumatized when they witness a fight that was so terrible parents, they can only weep, locked himself in the room, or go run away from home to calm themselves.

B. PARENT CHILD RELATIONSHIP WITH

Before the child knows the wider environment, the first neighborhood that they know are family. Family as a social group made ​​up of a number of individuals, have a relationship, in which there are obligations and responsibilities of the role.

According Salvicion and Celis (1998) in a family there are two or more than two persons are joined by blood, marriage or relationships appointment, at his life in a single household, interacting with each other and within their respective roles and create and maintain a culture.

Parents are a very important environment for the growth and development of children. Parents also as a source of support, encouragement, sensitivity, strength, and source kabahagiaan.

But what would happen if it all just be a dream for the children feel? Children need to figure their growth. Therefore, in a messy condition parents should act as companions for children. Berkomukasi good as well as friendship, to communicate will be the intermediary between them to rebuild ties that have been cracked, but it can also be a parent to understand what will and desire of a child that they can not express verbally. There are efforts to solve the problems of children in ways that communicate to the parents to do to be a baby outpouring:

1. Encourage children to worship

Parental divorce may weaken the strength of the child. Especially is the power of faith. Invite children to worship can be an effective communication tool in accordance with development stage. Still encourage the baby to always draw closer to GOD Almighty to try and always pray God willing the baby will be blessed multilayered power (the power of faith, mental strength, and physical strength), given determination, patience, positive thinking, optimistic , keep the spirit and never give up, crippling infirmities that way. With so slowly secar baby will grow up to be a great kid.

2. Affection and attention

As a parent, must give attention and affection from the smallest thing. That way a child will feel cared for and needed. TLC is the main capital for the "health" spiritual body, and inner and outer. If parents ignore this, then vice versa. They will harbor resentment, feeling useless and ignored.

3. Gives confidence

parents are the primary role in shaping the personality of children.

The role of parents is to educate and direct them appropriately to provide confidence and always assume good faith towards them. If children behave badly, it does not mean the child is a child who can not be trusted. All people are entitled to the trust, both internally and externally. Every child is stubborn to change for the better again. Depending on how parents educate and watched.

If parents have always suspected, interrogated, and prejudiced against children, then hate injustice, and their minds will grow. Determination to do evil even as alleged.

4. Take the time for children

Sesibu-busy parents, so packed with various activities or work that does not mean the job is paramount. The most important thing for parents to keep the pieces together hati.beraktivitas baby is fun and is able to strengthen the relationship with the child's parents. So what's the harm if a father / mother to take the time to entertain his son by way of doing a variety of things that they like? such as: playing ball, playing in the garden, cooking and eating together, karaoke at home, and so forth. In addition to playing, parents can also take the time to listen and provide the best solution of grievances presented by the baby. And eventually they will open themselves to communicate, to entertain each other and feel entertained, to forget the feelings or negative thoughts of children.

C. BEHAVIOR OF CHILDREN AS VICTIMS OF DIVORCE

Not only become less socially, children of divorce would experience academic impairment, decreased performance at school and outside of school, but in trying to anxiety, loneliness, self-distrust, and grief protracted.

A child of divorce who before becoming more comfortable and at ease when they're at home, surrounded by his family let alone complete. However, all the comfort that no longer obtained after frequent check-choke between parents, before and after divorce. Seharuskan a house used as a place to learn, adapt, socialize, and play is not effective, if it is like a ship destroyed by a storm so terrible in the middle of the ocean. Moreover, to learn, to play just is not fun. Will only add grief.

Not all child victims percerain fall into promiscuity. Actually there are children who remain closer to GOD Almighty, aware of the risks if the aberrant act, patient, tough, trying tuk always strong, the spirit, not desperate to still achieve a bright future, despite the fact that their families fall apart and status although sometimes parents are divorced but still a fight, hate and blame each other. They can do that because they do not harbor hatred and still love their parents. Kids like that are exemplary and serve as role models in society.
