Recognizing the Early Signs of Parental Alienation in South Africa
Parental alienation is a distressing phenomenon that can occur during or after divorce or separation. It involves one parent, intentionally or unintentionally, influencing a child to reject or harbour negative feelings towards the other parent. In South Africa, as in many other countries, parental alienation is a matter of concern that can have long-lasting effects on both the child and the targeted parent. Recognizing the early signs of parental alienation is crucial to addressing the issue promptly and seeking appropriate intervention.
