How to Identify Common Signs of Parental Alienation
Parents are a child’s first tutors. A child always expects his parents to be perfect. But when divorce or separation takes a step into a child’s parents’ life, a child’s world is torn between mother and father. He does not know whom to support and whom not too. A child is so naive that whatever is fed into his mind, he starts to believe it. Parental Alienation is common syndrome seen nowadays. It can be defined as a syndrome found in children when they start to aloof one parent from their lives. They decide to alienate them from their lives and blame them for whatever wrong has happened in their lives.
