Reason auuite iat bivattzh parenta WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Children whose parents are divorced can be happy at holiday time, says a Purdue University psychologist. "If the parents aren't fighting and are actively involved with the kids, the children are apt to be happy even though both par- ents aren't there," says Kathryn Black, associate professor of psychological sciences. Parental conflict, not the divorce itself, causes problems for children, she says. And avoiding conflict can be especially tough during that time of year. Each parent must make a concession, she says, with children spending Thanksgiving with one parent and Christmas or Han- ukkah with the other. Furthermore, each parent should make sure the children have money to buy a gift for the other. "This will show the children that their parents get along well enough to still want good things to happen to each other," Black says. Children often see advantages to the situation, she adds. "Many kids like getting two Thanksgivings and Christmases, and they get more gifts. Also, some children get to travel if their parents live far apart, and they often look forward to that."
