Anxiety and Children Detail of Article Graphics.
“In general, when children have been taught by one parent to hate the other parent, postponing contact between the rejected parent and the children is ineffective. In such case absence does not make the heart grow fonder, it makes alienation more profound. For several reasons "cooling off" periods run a high risk of becoming more lasting.”
