Divorce of their parents can create difficulties for the development of young children. The ability of children to integrate the various losses involved in the breaking up of a family is impeded by limitations of their cognitive understanding of events taking place during the separation phase. Because their thinking process is as yet immature, children often feel responsible for the divorce, and they otherwise distort the meaning of the events about them. The pediatrician can often guide and encourage parents to facilitate their children's understanding and acceptance of the changes in their lives.
父母离异会给幼儿的成长带来困难。儿童整合家庭破裂所涉及的各种损失的能力，会因他们对分离阶段所发生事件的认知理解有限而受到阻碍。由于他们的思维过程尚未成熟，孩子们常常觉得离婚是自己的责任，否则就会曲解周围事件的意义。儿科医生常常可以引导并鼓励父母，以帮助他们的孩子理解并接受生活中的变化。
