affects of separation on young children

    In a case of a family separation, does it often occur that a two year old child will not want to return to his/her mother having spent an overnight or weekend visitation with their father?

    Is it normal that they demand to stay with their father but within an hour or two become adjusted to being with their mother again?

    What can you do to give a child of this age security or even explain that they will see their father again and that he is not gone for good?

    Can you do anything at all to make life easier for your child and is this damaging for life?

    I can't help with much of the psycology but regardless of what you do I don't know anyone that hasn't been psycology scared for life from a seperation...

    but once both parents work together and are both in the childs life as much as possible i'm sure the negative affect will be reduced.
