DivorceCare for Kids - DC4K
DivorceCare for Kids (DC4K) is a special group to help children heal from the hurt caused by the separation or divorce of their parents. At the weekly DC4K group, kids make friends who understand how they feel and the things they are going through because of the divorce of their parents. Best of all, children will learn how God's love can strengthen them and help turn tears to hope and joy!
DC4K Design
Our DC4K group meets weekly in 13 week cycles. We combine games, crafts, activities, music and videos to create a fun atmosphere where children feel comfortable and accepted. They look forward to each time their DC4K "family" gets together.
Ages
DC4K 4s designed for children ages 5-12.
Family support
DivorceCare for Kids is structured to replicate a large family environment. Children from the same family are kept together, because they often look to each other for security during the divorce experience.
Parent involvement
Parents are encouraged to be involved with their children as they go through DC4K. They will receive a weekly parent page, describing what the child has learned and how to have follow up discussion in the week that follows.
DivorceCare connectivity
DC4K follows the same schedule and age-appropriate content themes as the adult DivorceCare program, allowing parents and children to progress through the healing process together.
Content
DC4K is nondenominational and features biblical teaching to help children recover from the hurt of separation and divorce.
