New evidence of a program’s impact to strengthen the quality of father post-divorce parenting
$0.00
This presentation will discuss the state of evidence of the relations between the quality of father parenting following divorce and children’s post-divorce adjustment. We will first discuss what we mean by “quality of parenting”. We will then discuss new evidence that the quality of father post-divorce parenting is associated with children’s well-being particularly when there is high levels of interparental conflict and low levels of father parenting time. Finally, we will discuss new evidence on the effects of an experimental study of a brief 10-session program to strengthen the quality of father-child relationship. The study will address two questions: Can the brief program strengthen the quality of father post-divorce parenting? What is the impact on children of strengthening the quality of farther parenting?
