I make films to create change. My third feature documentary, ERASING FAMILY, now streaming, exposes the trauma children suffer after divorce when a loving parent is erased from their lives. This problem affects 22 million families in the U.S. alone.
Between the challenges, parents play a crucial role in positively shaping their child’s well-being during this difficult family time. Boosting a child’s self confidence becomes paramount in steering clear of the detrimental effects of divorce.
When kids don’t yet have the skills to process big emotions, they can benefit from energy release through dance, drawing, writing songs, sculpting with clay, or singing about them. Creating art gives children something tangible to be proud of which in turn boosts their self-esteem.Finding a mentor to talk with outside the family gives kids an additional positive role model to look up to.
“Simply stop during your rushed walk from changing out the laundry to getting dinner started, take a few seconds to pause, and comment on or ask about what your child is doing. ‘You seem really lost in that book! What are you reading?’ or ‘What a creative drawing you’re working on! How did you come up with that?’ In our hectic and overscheduled lives, these small exchanges help our children feel seen,” said Lynes.
