The chapter describes children of divorce, their experiences, behaviors, and adjustment issues in relation to their parents’ separation. It also examines how the separation impacts the children’s academic achievement, social relationships, emotional expressions, psychological well-being, and coping skills, and how family relationships, interaction, and communication after the separation mediate the impact of the parents’ separation on the children’s adjustment. This chapter likewise highlights the important role of emotion regulation as a protective factor in the adjustment of children of divorce. The different factors that help in the development of emotion regulation of children of divorce have been identified. Auspicious interventions that have been identified in the literature are described. The chapter ends with specific recommendations on how children of divorce can be further facilitated, particularly in enhancing their emotion regulation competencies.

Given the increasing societal concerns about youth’s mental health problems in the context of rapid sociocultural changes in urban China, studying the links of appraisals and coping to Chinese children’s adjustment can inform cultural adaptations of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) interventions for this population. In a school-based sample of 591 Chinese preadolescent children (53.6% girls, [Formula: see text] age = 11.6 years, in fifth and sixth grades) in Beijing, we tested the concurrent relations between (a) children’s self-reported threat appraisals of stressors and use of coping strategies (active, avoidant, distraction, and support seeking), and (b) three domains of adjustment (externalizing and internalizing problems, and social competence) rated by parents, teachers, and children. Structural equation modeling revealed that controlling for stressors and family demographics, threat appraisals and avoidant coping were positively associated with internalizing problems. Active coping was negatively associated with externalizing problems and positively associated with social competence, and support seeking coping was negatively associated with internalizing problems. Gender did not moderate threat/coping-adjustment associations.
