Closed Add parental alienation to the curriculum with mandatory training for teachers

Closed on

I would like the government to introduce mandatory parental alienation education in all secondary schools throughout the UK for pupils AND staff.

This education should include things such has:

Examples of negative impacts of parental alienation found in research include:

Low self-esteem.
Feeling abandoned and unloved.
Inability to express grief.
Self-hatred through internalising the hate targeted at one parent.
Disturbed attachment to both parents.
Substance abuse disorders.
Guilt.
Anxiety.
Mental illness
Disturbed psychosocial development, for example, in handling interpersonal conflict and developing empathy.
Poor academic performance.
Poor physical health.
