It's possible that you won't detect indicators of parental alienation until it's too late. Your spouse may try to turn your children against you through subtle manipulation. However, there are several telltale indications that you can look for to spot parental alienation and intervene before it does harm to your children.

The following are signs of parental alienation:

  • Your child "repeats" the other parent's words, particularly when it comes to unfavorable thoughts towards you.

  • When you employ practical and acceptable techniques of discipline to enforce rules, your children complain that you are abusive, unkind, or unreasonable.

  • Your child rejects everyone who is connected to you, including your parents, siblings, relatives, and friends.

  • Your kids refuse to listen to you or follow the rules you set in your house.

  • You kids just listen to their other parent and point out how superior he or she is than you.

  • Your child is refusing or resisting visitation, throwing tantrums or wanting to return home.

  • Older children organize activities when they should be with you or constantly have more pressing obligations than visits.

  • When you bring up happy memories with your child, he or she refuses to recognise them and considers your entire relationship with them as negative.

  • Teachers, coaches, and other adults in your child's life begin to ignore you and only deal with the other parent.
