They live with one parent or one natural parent and a step-parent or unrelated adult, or move between homes of parents and stepparents, and have · zero to several siblings, full, step, or half. Research during the 70's and 80's generated several conclusions: l.All children of divorce suffer. A child loves both parents and experiences severe loss when they separate. 2. Children express this loss in many different ways; most somewhere between the extremes of total personality change and pretending nothing is different. 3_ On the average, it takes a child about three years to finally adjust to the new situation and to aeeept his or her circumstances. 4. The more receptive those around the child are to acknowledging the reality of the problem and allowing him or her to express. his or her feelings, to talk about the circumstances, the easier the adjustment will be. As a result of these social changes and investigations, many school districts across the country have begun ta provide opportunities for the millions of children who experience parental separation to have support and assistance in making the transition. Bethlehem Central is one such district. Songs From My Fair Lady We have available for some students a program called "Banana Splits".
